Rx parts used apex seals or new

I'm looking for some input from experienced engine builders. I broke 4 apex seals and trashed both rotors and housings, I'm in the process of gathering parts on a budget. There are some used rx parts apex seals for sale with 1,100 miles on them, says they are 8.1mm thick with no warping for $250. Would I be better off buying new ra classic for $200? What would you do? S5 t2 280 whp thanks

Agree with the above. I would never chance buying used apex seals. Housings I would but not apex or side seals.
