Should I buy refurbished early 2011 MBP or refurbished late 2011?

That isn’t completely true. I have an early 2011 15” MBP and it has SATA 3 6Gbps on BOTH the HDD and ODD ports.

It has been well established that the higher end MacBook Pro's has issues with 6G, even though it reports that it is 6G.

I hate to bring up an old thread, but I'm looking to buy a MBP and was wondering if I should buy any of the 2011 15" Refurbs, or just buy the base 15"?
