Thanks to everyone for their input. I also seached some of the older archives on this list and found mostly high praises for refurbished products from Canon.
Alas, someone else snapped up the 100-400 L lens I had my eye on, but after my 10D let me down when shooting a hockey fight, I spotted a refubished 30D on B&H's site and bought it at several hundred dollars below the price of the brand new version. It works quite nicely, and I am happy with it. Still on the lookout for a refurbished (or decently priced used) 100-400 L, though. I have a feeling I will have to be very patient!
