Default Is it worth getting back into the money pit?

Of rst's i mean, ive got a chance to buy another minty fresh S2 again.

Spares are not really a problem as ive had a good offer from someone that has a bottomless
pit of them lol.

Just need that final bit of persuassion (sp), come on people fight its case!!!!
