I'm a little partail to them right now - again - depending on the condition - sounds like a good price. If this would be the one to go downstairs, after the work on the existing fireplace - I'm not really sure that it would be the right stove to have in there.
Condition condition condition. How many castings are broke,is the soapstone looking white(over fired), is it rusted, if it is not a secondary burn tube stove sell it yesterday.

Tough to say for certain - it depends on the layout of the area, and how you use that room. If the 2'nd stove is to give a some quick, extra heat on really cold days, and that room is not an area where you spend a lot of time - I would think a cast or steel stove might be your best bet. On the other hand, if the downstairs location is more of a finished room where you spend a lot of time, but the heat from the Summit doesn't reach there, a soapstone stove could be a good fit. They really need to be running 24/7 to be effective.

the room is finished complete with bar and home theater! but i don't use it everyday but would like to cut its dependcy from oil off the summit is on the first floor and this is my basement
The Heritage would be sweet if you don't mind starting it up a couple hours before you are using the space. For quicker heat, it sounds like a medium sized low cost stove like an Englander 13NC or equivalent cast iron stove would do the job.

my only worry was the room the stove is in the basement is 24 x36-40 there are still some other small areas .. but the heat travels upstairs if the door is left open... so i wanted to go bigger and get heat upsatirs if possible
For that room being used like I would expect you to use it I vote for a nice big steel stove and not a soapstone. Your budget and your taste dictates which big steel stove. Quick heat when you need and a nice big window to watch the fire while watching the game down there.
