Anyone reason to be concerned with a refurb vs new? Are the refurb and new units the same? Anything anyone else can add that may aid in my decision? Thanks in advance.

If the refurb is available get it. The only difference is the box it comes in.

If from Apple there is no down side to a refurb.

Have a refurb. Works great. One year warranty. The only difference I can see is the $25 savings.

None. Get it from Apple, then you know it's been done properly, and comes with the full warranty.
