Beckman P/ACE VS Agilent 1600

Hi all

I am looking to buy a reconditioned CE system from one of the flipper companies. There seem to be a lot of Agilent 1600 and Beckman P/ACE's on the market for ~10k. Could anyone talk to me about the pros and cons of each. I would like something reliable and user servicable with decent software and parts availability. I don't need anything super fancy. I will probably be doing simple CZE of ribonucleotides via UV detection and possibly some sugars or vitamins down the road with indirect UV.

Which would you recommend?
