I had my Cadenza Bronze refurbished at Ortofon. It was perfect in every respect. If it were me I'd go the refurbished route. As Nandric says a demo is used. Carts are TOO easy to damage despite what someone may advertise. Refurbished other than the body is BRAND NEW.
If you go the refurbished route, move quickly. They sell out fast..
