Refurb MBP: Clean Install?

[MyDesktopBroke]

This is my first post from my refurb 2.53 MBP. I know some people here always do clean installs as soon as they get any new computer. Should I? What are the real benefits? And does the fact mine is a refurb make a difference?

Just a matter of preference
I have never seen the need

Being a refurb will have no bearing on it

just set up your new account, migrate your data over, get allt he apps and OS upto date and you should fine.

Some just like to start "fresh"
To each his/her own

I don't think it is necessary unless you are experiencing problems
