A refurb of a good disk is fine. A bad disk won't pass the refurb process.
In many ways, a refurb would be preferable to a new disk.

That is not true.
Three times now, I have gotten, or helped others with replacement
disks that were bad. Three times.
Manufacturers are good at fixing obvious problems. But really
intermittent problems, ones where the disk works perfectly for
200+ hours and then glitches, gets past them. I had a delightful
go-round with an oem over this exact thing. They got the disk
and said it was good and therefore did not deserve to be replaced.
Only after several hundred hours of testing did I reproduce the
problem, and got a new disk.
