Is it worth to buy a McCormack SST-1 & DAC-1??

I have been considering this bargain offer of a demo McCormack SST-1 plus a brand new DAC-1 for nearly two weeks now. Is it still worth buying a 10 years old technology for a bargain or should I move on to SACD or even newer digital format in the near future?
Can anyone share their experience of owning the SST-1 or DAC-1 ??

Thanks guys. This is exactly what I been looking for. I have recently bought a brand new matching pair of TLC-1 & DNA-1 from the dealer here ( new old stock ). My only question is regarding the remote volume control of the SST-1, the dealer just told me that there is no such feature for the transport that he's got. Sfar, is this remote volume control an option for your SST-1 that you bought used ? Where is this feature in the remote controller ?

Donjf,
Does your SST-1 provide the remote volume control function also ? Have you had a chance of comparing your DAC-1 Deluxe to the DAC-1 standard version ? I was told by Steve McCormack that there is a substantial improvement of the Deluxe over the Standard because he has made significant changes of the analog board.
