My experience with Adorama is limited. Bought one item that was
described as "Very Good". Apparently that's the phrase they use to
describe worn, defective equipment. The return was a hassle as well
so I haven't given them a second chance.
KEH has become inconsistent, IMO. I've done business with them for
over a decade. You'll see lots of stories posted to the 'net about
"Bargain" items that turn out to be very clean. I've had that
experience as well. More recently I noticed that "Bargain" is more
likely to mean just that and maybe worse. One "Bargain" lens I
ordered had a nice gouge in the front element. Mechanical items are
apparently no longer thoroughly checked as I've had to return a few
lately. If you follow their rules, they're very fair about returns.
Side note: I wonder about KEH's long term health. They're holding a
LOT of analog gear that they bought at relatively high prices that
will never return the $$ they expected. Perhaps King's pockets are
deep enough to offset the difference, but I it'll be interesting to
see what happens over the next few years.
