Only if you like to upgrade frequently. Otherwise your prev gen refurbished will run into non-support for the next OS or hardware innovation.

Perhaps for iOS devices, but the desktop stuff can run for a long time on older hardware.

I'm personally using a refurbed Early 2008 iMac that runs Mavericks just fine. It needed more RAM and hard drive space, but that was nothing that I couldn't have purchased when I bought the machine.
