I'll toss in my take on the "rebuild" issue. I have actually ended up with three different 950's in the last year or so -- two of them "rebuilt" units (one to fix the drop-out bug, one a test of the red-dot hiss fix). Both "rebuilt" units have been indistinguishable from the first unit. Granted, this is no guarantee that all rebuilt units will be completely devoid of bumps or scrapes, but I'd say it is very, very rare for the rebuilds to show any wear of any sort.
