My 2 best lenses are refubs bought from B&H. When the difference is $1900 (refurb) vs. $2300 (new), I'll go with the refurb. If it was only a $50 difference, I would have gone new.

yeah the lens I am looking at is about a 400 dollar difference between new and refurb. Coming straight from canon. Only drawback I see is only a 90 day warranty on refurbs.
