True, but you pay sales tax through Canon Refurb, which is something like $140.00 on a $2000 lens; . That brings the savings down to just $160.00... For that, I'd just take a brand new lens for $2,299.00 while it is on a Canon rebate. Then there is shipping, which is not (I think) always free at Canon Refurb, but which is basically always free through B&H or Adorama, etc....
