A few days ago I started a thread about adding a 2nd EX485 to my system. Unfortunately, that deal didn't work out, so I'm back to square one (but that thread didn't generate any response anyway, so it didn't matter).

My question now is: should I go with a used (no warranty) MediaSmart EX485 or 495, or instead go with a new & fully-warrantied StorageWorks X310?

The prices for each are in the same $350 neighborhood, so I don't know which would be best for me. (?) I'd appreciate any opinions from those around here with more knowledge about this than I have. (and quickly if possible, as there's a NewEgg rebate offer on the StorageWorks X310 that ends tomorrow/Saturday).

Thanks in advance for a quick reply!
