Frankly I've been very happy to buy components that are non-NOS, as long that they do not have any significant wear and will clean up and function well. I must have saved hundreds of dollars doing so, especially as more and more hyper pricers had populated eBay in the last few years who think that ANYTHING NOS automatically deserves a price tag of $250+

Get some modern dual pivot if you want to stop. Best improvement, other than Ergos, in the last generation.
