nMPs now in the Refurb Store

There's some good deals, but considering we might be getting new nMPs in just a couple months, and the fact that these are a first generation product, I would certainly suggest waiting, at least a little longer.
October 21st: x99 16 core. ddr4, usb 3.1, thunderbolt 3.0. display port 1.3 = in my dreams.

No one has really complained about them though, right? So while I personally am not a fan of the redesign, if it fits your needs, I'm not sure why you wait. The second generation is probably 6 months away at least and then you probably won't find it in the refurb store for another 6 months or more. Plus at the lower end the nMP v2 isn't really going to be much better than the current version. The performance/value of the nMP probably won't change much with the new version unless you get the 8 core (which might be a little cheaper or a little faster than the current 8-core) or the top end which might move to 14 cores or more.
So, if you want the 4-core or 6-core, I'd say jump on it now.
.I was tempted, as I've been waiting for the refresh, but doing the math, it was only $300 cheaper to get the refurb over a new one from the Apple Store with Educational discount. I'm going to hold out for a few months and see when we start hearing about the new model.
At worst they'd have a dual-link TB2 connectivity option. You're safe to buy mate, these fabled displays will work.
