Hello,

We have had the Finesse ME for three years now. We took the warranty 
extension but never had to use it. However, it was an ease of mind to 
have it because you never know what might happen. Even if these 
microtomes are good quality machines, there is always an exception to 
the rule. If your budget is not a problem, I would consider taking to 
extension, but if money is limited, you might want to seriously think 
about it. It also depends on who is using the microtome (whether they 
are experienced people or not) and the usage rate (does it work 
24H/day, 7 days/week?).

I wish I could be of more help,
