The "factory sealed" thing is mostly on Olympos and Iwata's higher-end airbrushes. Some other manufacturers do it, but, you're right, it seems that most don't.
I've never dealt with Lion-Art personally, but it's at least a place I've heard of. That usually means that these types of things get handled well. If not, tell people on the forums that you got screwed by them.
As far as worrying about the head unit- as far as I know, the SB and SB2 both use the same head unit, so there wouldn't be any need to change out the "old" stock of those, so, they should still have new, matched head units in stock. It should come in a sealed blister pack on a card if it's factory. I wouldn't worry about the SB not performing well. Even if the head unit isn't perfectly calibrated, it's still going to work very well.
