i would say get it lower. As mentioned earlier, technics last forever and buying used ones isn't that painful - and so you should be able to find a much better deal.
Mine are 9 years old and still run perfectly. Still stop on a dime (or bounce back if i set them to), Still start just as quickly, I've adjusted the pitches a couple times, but they're still synced up... Only had to change the stylus lights once...
Only time I had my decks fail on me were my starter set (1200's) which were dropped down a flight of stairs by a really drunk friend.. and the only thing that happened to them is the arms cracked in half, the decks were fine (those were 10 years old when i bought em).
But if you're dying to put money in your friend's pocket, go for it. At least you'll know where they've been.
And the only reasons I can think of to buy new (unless you have the money to spare) would be for the shell, and you can buy shells, and for the stylus light's great looking slow pop up...
