Buying a refurbished Nikon lens from Nikon?

2 questions:

I was told that Nikon sells refurbished lenses.  Where are these found?

From what I gather, refurbished lenses don't have much difference from new, is that correct?

I wouldn't hesitate to buy a "Nikon" refurbished lens. They are usually available at most reputable sellers.....;)

Why so serious?

I have bought refurbs as well. They are gone over by techs & are put through more rigorous testing than new lenses off the assembly  line. You save some money buying them but you do sacrifice the warranty length...
