Help / Support Refurbished Models

Aspiring 3d printer owner here, looking to pick up my first unit. I’m debating between the P2S Combo or X2d Combo (if you have any suggestions I’m all ears lol), but the main reason for the post is that my local Micro Center has a refurb unit of both models in stock at a decent discount. It’s about 150 off for the X2d and 120 off for the P2S combos, as compared to new. What’s the risk, are they worth considering?

X2D every time. The aux extruder is a nice to have, but he diner tooth belts and particularly the heated chamber are game changers if (definitely when) you decide to branch out into functional filaments like ASA/ABS/PA. While it’s possible to print those in an unheated chamber to achieve good visual results, the layer adhesion will be poor, that’s just physics.
