If you are an amazon prime member they offer interest free finance for 12 months on big purchases like this (plus free 2 day shipping obviously). I’d personally stick with a new unit.

New - $2800 / 12 months = 233.33$ per month payment  
Used/Refurb - $2100 upfront payment

I personally would not risk that kind of money on a used or refurbished printer, unless you are just using it for a hobby and don’t mind fiddling with stuff constantly or potential downtime. (personally I cannot risk increased downtime in my current situation)

One thing these printers have over all the FDM ones is these work perfect right out of the box. I have a Rostock Max V2 FDM printer which i had to assemble by hand, and takes constant upkeep and tweaks to EVERY model you print to get high quality prints. My Form 1+ I unboxed, dumped in resin, and had a flawless print from day 1 with no tweaks to the model. The only issue i have run into so far is dust particles sometimes getting on the mirror and causing a small pinhole in my prints, but i keep a good eye on each batch and as soon as i see one i remove the resin tray and blast off the offending dust particle with can of compressed air.

Overall i am very happy with this printer and the support from form labs!
