The "blem" depends on what the defect is. It can range from a cracked scupper hole to a color fade. If you are not set on a color, you can really save some money, but check them carefully. I was able to save a bundle on kayak for myself and my son 2 Christmas' ago. My son's Mini X had a scratch in the Malibu label on one side (so no structural damage) and my X-Factor was marked as being faded in one spot (also no structural damage). We were unable to find it in the fade in the shop and I still can't. OEX was very upfront with what makes the model a "blem". They never tried to hide any of the supposed defects. If possible, they also repair or reinforce the blem. The only concern is the manufactures warranty is 3 months instead of a year. Stop by one of there shops, you may be able to find a new one for the price of used.
