Well, insofar as you're a VERY worried newbie...

If you can find a few extra dollars... I'd recommend a 7300 or higher, especially if you're considering a refurb... the 6300 and below are said to be manufactured at other plants in Asia and as a result, have had more malfunction / reliability issues... the 7300 and above are said to be mostly trouble-free, although it was occasionally reported that the 7300 had an audible high-pitched whine in some units (you might find info by searching threads here)... it was also said to have been corrected since.

Refurb pricing is nice, but it's not a guarantee you'll receive a perfect unit.... they go back to the plant or repair facility for various reasons, and there's no way to track and document any specific unit... most transactions seem satisfactory though, particularly at AC4L.
