Make sure the warranty is good. I bought a "new" Nexus 6 a few months back and the warranty wasn't a full yr like the eBay claimed, so I got a refund. Be careful with the glue peeling off too. Personally, would've sprung for a LG G4 if you wanted a cheap flagship. Or a M9. The M9 was on sale recently for $250 through Best Buy.
A 6 Plus. Not the 6s Plus though.

Screen size is way too small. Same as the 6 Plus really.
My phone won't be here until Monday so I went ahead and signed out of imessages everywhere. So unless I have something set up wrong, I can't use iMessages on my iMac now. It will receive but I can't send anything.
Not the OP, but I use a Moto X and an iPad Air 2 and I find it works great, but I use the Google ecosystem for everything and the cross platform compatibility works really well for me. I don't use a single Apple service.
I did the same thing, rocked a Nexus 6 along my Air 2. I loved the phone but I had some big issues with screen burn in, cell connectivity weirdness, and general inconsistency. I'm back to my iPhone 6 though and I do miss a lot about my Nexus 6. Hopefully your experience will be great!
Enjoy. I found the Nexus 6 to be just that bit too big tbh. It's very wide in the hand (more so than its height).
I would recommend you get a d-brand skin for the back of the Nexus 6. Even though its polycarbonate, it attract finger print grease stains very quickly, and it's also quite slippy. A d-brand skin will give you a cleaner look and feel for $10.
