But I heard that Digidesign prices in the UK are going to go up by around 25%(!). So I am not sure if I will be able to aford an upgrade soon.
Does anyone have a short-list of things to check when buying my Control 24? Maybe how old it is, if they changed PSU, etc?

Hi,
As mentioned check the serial number! i think from F onwards the power supply was much better.
Look closely at the scribble strips for any flickering! go to utility mode/test and there's a function to check all scribble strips/lamps/faders etc and the famous vegas mode.
The monitor section is often a problem area, but difficult to check unless its all hooked up to a rig!
If its a later one in good cosmetic condition then its totally recommended.
