The BC models are known to have problems with the cells.
I would have gotten myself one approx. a year ago if I hadn't known
about these issues in advance.  You can be lucky of course and get a
piece of hardware with just works, however, there have been many service
cases around the BC models, so I personally would advice against buying
one, its too risky in my humble opinion.  I agree, its a very pretty
piece of hardware.  But also a risky buy.
