Were the specs of the newest so much better than the iPad 2 to warrant the extra cash? I honestly do believe they were. Going from 1 to 2 was silly but this one seems like it's going in the direction that we had hoped the original iPad had taken.

I would go with the most current in this situation despite being a fan of the refurb store.

The new 16Gb I'm talking about is an iPad 2 as well, not the 'New iPad'...
 
^ Oh crap! Sorry! 32gb then. I'm finding that apps are taking more and more space and 16GB seems like it can fill up fast.
 
Go with the refurbished one, in my expiernce they're just as good, if not better than new ones (the extra testing).
