I'd look at http://www.corpsys.com/ they often have good drives at 
decent prices.  Mostly refurbished or surplus... but the prices are 
good, and they have a warranty.  I've been happy with them.  Look at 
the "Web Store" section.  The currently have a Archive SCSI2 F/H 
16/32GB DAT-Includes a 4 cassette magazine for $495.  And 
several DLT drives for less than $700.

As to the quality of the backup.... have you restored anything yet?  A 
backup is only as good as your last restore....

If it's new, see if the dealer will take it back.....
