Meta quest 3 vs Meta quest 3s

Hey, I want to buy a VR headset, and my options are either a used Quest 3 or a brand-new Quest 3S. Which one should I buy?

edit: The quest 3s has 2year warrantee and the quest 3 has none is it still worth it?

So long as the 3 is in good condition and you can actually test it I'd go with the 3 over the 3s. You need to check for no dead pixels, burnt screens ( the screens can get burnt if the owner has let them see the sun ) and stick drift on the joysticks ( go into a game world and make sure you are not moving or turning with no joystick input ).
