Default [Q] Advent Vega. Is it still a good deal?

Hey guys!
I'm thinking of buying a 10'' tablet and a second hand advent vega seems like a decent option.

That said, I am wondering if you guys think it is still a good buy, considering it's a relatively old device and that there are - as far as I can tell - no android 4/cm9 roms for it?

Thanks!

Go to modaco or tabletroms.com

There are a few ICS roms out there. Look at vegaics in dev forum. I'm using beta 1 on my Vega and its nearly flawless. If you want a good solid tablet with full size HDMI out, full size USB input and a tegra 2 processor then the Vega is the best value for money, hands down. I've had mine nearly a year, I won't change it until it dies.

Display is not that good, but acceptable for this price

Hmm 140 sure sounds like a good deal..
It's either this or the Kindle Fire 10" - if the latter is as inexpensive as the 7".
Thanks for the input, everyone! By the way, where's the best place to get a Vega from?

I have the Point of View version (its basically the same hardware just a different brand on it) and I have to say I like the tablet very much. I recently installed VegaCream RC2 on it (has a couple of minor bugs that depend on how you use it if they are annoying or not (mic not working is one of them)) but other the that works very smooth. Ive had mine for well over a year now I think (year and a half?) and same as x5starguerillaa said, wont get a new one till this one dies.
