Should these CD-I models be avoided?

While in the market for a CD-I, I have been avoiding pretty good deals on certain models of CD-I's because of an article that states that certain models of CD-I are not very good.
This is because of the following article:
http://www.geocities.com/Area51/Realm/2 ... ware1.html
Specifically, this article says that the 450 and 550 do not handle Digital Video very well, and wears them out.
It also states that there are two kinds of 910's,
It says that there are 910s made in 1991, with green lights on the front that are very good.
It says that the other 910's were made and 1992, with blue lights in the front that are not very good.
What's weird is I've contacted an Ebay seller selling a 910 about this and he said that his was made in 1992 but has green lights.
Lately, I've been wondering if that article is accurate at all, as I haven't been able to find anything else suggesting problems with the 450s and 550s.
I have found some information suggesting that the first batch of 910's in 1991 may have been slightly different then the ones made in 1992, but nothing suggesting that there was a major difference in quality between the two batches.
Is there any truth to this article at all??? Or am I avoiding perfectly good CD-I's due to misinformation?
