This is my experience from the Sony Exchange Program.
1) I got a new, not refurbished television.
2) To be honest, I'm sure you'll see a difference between the A2000 vs EX500. I mean this in a GOOD way!
3) Why bother? They most likely do not have the parts needed to replace the optical block.
4) You can buy a warranty from a third-party manu.
5) You get to keep the A2000. They don't bother with it.
