Apple Refurb or Lightly Used w/ Apple Care?


need thoughts on this. after having keyboard issues 2017 15" mbp (and 2 replacements) decided go 2015 15" in hopes apple revise 15" mbp resolve reliability issues. hate keyboard in general. reliability top priority me , business.

ordered refurb 2015 2.5ghz/512gb/dgpu apple on weekend $1949. when browsing ebay found same model lightly used in excellent shape (6 cycles on battery) apple care mid 2019 $1599. $400 savings (considering tax). there no way know how old/used is.

decided better deal , canceled 15" refurb , apple going reroute them , refund sale. looks didn't reroute delivered.

considering keeping refurb, should new , eat return shipping on 1 ebay (i might reroute sender).

priorities have clean machine reliable 18-24 months. apple store 30 minutes away , work keeps me busy trip there hard outside of weekend. while amount of video editing, of work podcast production. business expense. do?
 

18-24 months? i'd keep refurb , buy ac (now ac+) it. imho there's can go wrong current laptop 15" rmbp take gamble on 24 month purchase warranty going expire 25% of way through expected service life.
