RE: Apogees and ethics - comments

Seems to me all the options are ethically equivalent, as long as you sell them with full disclosure if you do decide to sell.
I've noticed with Maggies that the refurbished ones don't seem to go for as much as they should by comparison to the unrefurbished ones. I'm not sure why this is but it may have to do with sticker shock on the refurbished ones. Or maybe some people want to save money by doing the job themselves. Not sure if this is true of the Apogees as well but it may make more sense to let the next guy fix them if/as he wants.
Of course I can't decide for you whether to keep them or not but I think I agree with Satie that they're worth a $5000 investment. It looks like they fetch about $4000 used (I'm looking at the Blue Book, at what I'm guessing are the unrefurbished ones) so the total cost of fixing and keeping them would be about $9000 -- and the question then is whether you could be happier with something else for that sum.
