Topten, I would buy used if possible, however, remember, always authticate with factory of the brand you are buying into, I understand your budget, however, I would look into buying a Taralabs model, The One power cable, $600.00 to $800.00 used, most TARA cable's have serial numbers where you can call the factory and authenticate, they also can tell you the month and year the cable was made, I believe you will be happy with the performance of this power cord After 500 hrs of burn in, cheers.
