Akai S1000 / S1100 samplers

Thank you!
Now I'm undecided between two solutions here:
1) A s3000xl / used 165 EUR (nice price!the cons are that it has dim 
light on the display...is it a very bad signal??)
2) A  used s1100+internal hd+cd rom scsi 220 EUR (I don't know how's 
the display anyway...)

If the display is a minor problem, I'd go for the s3000xl...
what do you say? is the light easily "changeable"?

I'm looking on ebay too...but it's not easy to find a good 
auction...you always miss a thing..


Thanks again ;)
