Opening up my thinking to include "Pioneer refurbished" B units. Has anyone gone this route with success? Anything to watch out for?

I almost bought a B-stock 141fd. I was having a hard time finding a 60" elite for a reasonable price. If you buy the B-stock item from a pioneer dealer you get a 90 warranty, if you buy from anyone else you get no warranty. That was my hesitation. I also noticed that the B-stock items were primarily 141 monitors making me think these had higher failure rates than the 151's. They list the hours on these items and some are really low hours, that scared me out of buying one. Getting stuck with a broken plasma... then having to face a potentially really hight repair bill.
