So far, no problems and I've saved hundreds, maybe even a thousand or more, haven't added it up.

I would think that a refurbished lens runs a higher risk of having been returned due to being on the poorer end of sample variance. Buying new lenses, from overseas or anywhere else, eliminates that risk. Obviously you may still get a bad copy but the chances are reduced.

Just a theory but it seems to make sense.
