[Histonet] used cryostat opinion

[Bass, Caroline]

Hi Guys,

I'm looking to section rat brain. A cryostat is not a huge necessity for my lab, I can borrow access from another. But it would be a nice item to have and I'm considering a few refurbished models, a Leica CM1800, CM1850 and CM1900. The difference in price between the 1800 and 1900 is $6500. 

Any suggestions here? Are there any features of the 1850 or 1900 that would really justify the leap in cost, considering that I will not be a heavy user?

Thanks,

Caroline
