I bought my BII used with several years of service on it from a local expert, and I've done virtually nothing to it in the six years I have owned it. I think I paid a bit over $1000, and that's all I got. No grinder, no accessories.
If you have any mechanical aptitude for when the machine eventually needs work, I'd jump on this in a second. Just in a quick glance at a Google, it sounds like the grinder may have some drawbacks, but honestly, at $500 for both, even if you resold the grinder for a couple hundred and put a little work into the BII, I think it's still a bargain.
