Another vote for the Epson refurb area -- and if you get yourself on their mailing list you can sometimes get 10% - 20% off coupons to boot.

I got a stellar deal on one of the Epson P2000s that way.

BTW, I had fun (gently) teasing the Microtek guy at PhotoPlus about the M1. The head of our AIF asked me to check it out because they are interested in one for a large project. At least I could tell them I touched one.
