Experiences with refurbs?

[djfujiyama]

The blue LED on my mogul is stuck on (hard reset wont fix it...looks like a hardware issue) and the "down" arrow key also sometimes engages the center button. Minor problems in terms of most PPC issues, but still annoying.

I have insurance on the phone and local sprint store said they'd take a look at it and either fix or replace it free of charge though the replacement would be a refurb. It's unlikely they'll be able to fix it so i'm wondering if it's worth it to get a previously-broken phone with possibly more issues just to fix a stuck LED and a finicky button.

The last time around they gave me a brand new apache (6700) but no can do this time.

Anyone have any experiences with refurbs? What's the quality like?
