Subject: [Leica] forget about coatings, how about them scratches...

So lets say I am looking at a modern Zeiss lens with T* coating, and 
there's a scratch on it. Lets say 1 inch long and definitely at least 
as deep as the coating. The seller claims the pictures are "nice 
without observed effects from the scratch." The lens normally goes 
for $1500, but this one with the scratch is asking for $1200. What do 
you think? Worth $1000?
