Also, even if it ships with Monterey, you can downgrade to Catalina on a 7.1, which has the advantage of allowing you to boot from an external disk easily.

I have thought about used, but on the fence. Since I'd be keeping it for at least 7-10 years. Just like my current mac I bought in 2013 (specs in my sig) know that in 5 years or so I can upgrade the internals like I did mine drastically. I NEVER knew or thought I could upgrade the Ghz when I bought mine at 2.4G to a 3.46 and then use 16b sticks and SSD via Pcie years later. So thus the 7,1 being modular (probably the last ever to) makes it a long-term investment. Plus for the first time they have a yearly warranty plan. Was also on the fence about that, but $110 a year till at least the end of this decade for peace of mind goes a long way.
