I have an opportunity to purchase a used 2.25" Becker com radio out of a plane with 225 hours total time on it. I was going to buy an MGL new at about $1,100. The Becker, new is about $1,600. Does anyone have an idea of the value of the "almost new" Becker?

I'd take the MGL - much lighter weight and programmable from your portable garmin gps for frequency changes.
