Refurbished Video Cards?

Anyone have any experience with refurbished video cards? I found some pretty awesome deals to upgrade my Geforce3 TI 500...

I've got an Asus A7V600-X and so I need an AGP video card.. I found an x800 XL for $316 new, and I found an x800 XT for $319 "refurbished." By refurbished, I dont get any of the software or cables (like S-Video). Any suggestions on which way I should go? I don't really plan on using S-Video anytime in the future, but I'd hate to go with the XT and find out that S-Vidoe cables are $30 or something, more than the difference.

Also, is the XT much better than the XL ? The benchmarks are pretty inconclusive..
