Graeme, most people can't afford the luxury of 6 month trips.
If you can then yes a decent 9595a from Ebay would be the go. New batteries, however , are verry exe, along with anything else that needs replacing. A crook battery and aerial would quickly see you almost double your purchase price.
For the average traveller, it is a relatively cheap option, especially if you have a Telstra sim.
BTW try and hire anything for that length of time. Not cheap.
