In reviews, for all but "pixel peeping", there's very little practical difference between the L version and the STM version. Yes, there's some SLIGHT improvement on the edges when wide open, but if you stop down to f/8, they're virtually the same lens.
In those reviews, they make it clear -- this is one of the most under-performing L-series lenses of recent time, especially when compared to its non-L counterparts. The cost difference doesn't justify the red ring.
The STM is cheaper, lighter, and smaller.
And it's Canon refurb, which is pretty much "no different than new" with a warranty. WurstBuy's "open box" is garage-sale-used quality, with something like, what, a 15 day return window?
It's wurstbuy but it is also canon authorized retailer, meaning the receipt is good for warranty as long as the lens hasn't been registered.
Yeah right…

Except like the above mentioned, this is not one of those great lens. It's just average for a L lens. I have it as part of a kit lens, it's just ok compared to my other lens. For this price it is decent.
