That is outrageous! I'm pretty sure that they do not want the old hardware for recycling; You cant take it yourself to any of the electronics recyclers in your town; So....the sell you a new unit for 500 EUR...that means a loss on their side of 150 EUR. They take your old hardware, put a 275 EUR component and sell it as refurbished, for.....????
So...you give them a total of 500+650=1150 EUR for what is in essence 1 device;

Damn, thats a rip-off;
