I would think you are correct but I did choose to go the other way and keep my original Mavic, then I will always know its history, I recently had to replace the gimbal plate for about $20 US instead of paying about $300 for the repair, if there is anything I cannot fix I will take it to my local drone shop for repair and I still get to keep my original Mavic, but that is just my opinion, my crash was my own fault, pressed RTH and did not realize there were some tree branches above my Mavic.
Pleased that you are happy with your choice.
BTW your name (kiteboarder) suggests you are into kite boarding, you would sure get some good footage from that sport.
I don't think that DJI would reveal if the unit is refurbished or new, but then I could be wrong.
