Apple's repair service is the best in the business. I had to have my 15" Ti repaired twice for one thing or another and both times it came back in excellent shape. They even wash the case for you. So, saying the laptop will be less "pristine" is incorrect.
I hope you are not one of those people who likes to get replacements on their products to make you feel better about your purchase. For instance, maybe you scratched part of the case and you are going to use this defective cd drive to get a replacement. You wouldn't be doing that, would you?
