If your biggest thing is upgradability then those are not right for you. PsYcNeT mentioned in his post about the use of proprietary parts in those types of machines that make it difficult to upgrade/replace.

Yes those are cheaper but that's because 1) they're refurbs and 2) they cheap out on certain parts to bring costs down.
