AM is not as good as FM (in terms of range, interference, reliability) and then FM synthesized was the more advanced tech for awhile and then came 2.4Ghz spread spectrum technologies which blew them all away. I guess what I'm trying to say is there should be a lot of people trying to make the switch to the latest tech, so you should be able to pick out a good deal on a used FM set.
Personally, I would go with a used FM set rather than a brand new AM one. It might be cheaper that way too. And for a basher, an FM digital set is pretty much a keeper. But of course, if you're buying used stuff, make sure you test it out.
