I am very happy with my 5300 greyscale. Cyberian Outpost had the best price.

The 5300 runs fastest with 7.5.3 r2 installed

As for the 5300 with defects, Apple has on their homepage an application
for download. This application checks to see if your machine is one that
needs to be sent back for repair. Mine did not.
