New Denon Ceramic tape photo + price

Posted by J.L on January 29, 2007 at 11:00:54:
This 2 tapes are Denon highest quality tape
and has a Ceramic white shell (Like Sony metal master?)
it is heavyer than plastic.
HG-M 110 is High position (chrome)
using a metal powder called "Super tuned technorome"
I can get one New for around 12 euro (not sure if i want to pay that for a chrome tape even if is new)
and then there is MG-X Metal position tape
with XXII Maximaized metal
This is used and i get it for about 3.50 euro
quite cheap.
Since i am going to mostly get this tape for a Show-off collection
i guess my best option would be to get the used MG-X
it can be the used tape is not recorded on (not sure about it yet)
but anyway it has screws so i can change the metal hub for another one if nesesary.
Judging by the photo and the price
should i get the Used Mg-X or the New Hg-m?
i cant aford both and i should have cost reduced since i am buying
some other rare metal tapes together with it so all together it get expensive.
So question is New Denon Hg-M or Used Denon Mg-X metal?
