The great problem with all complex modern electronic devices is that there is always an improvement on the way, it will always do twice as much, and it will probably be cheaper. Computers are the most striking example. Following BBs logic, no-body would have bought a computer in the last ten years because the new, cheaper, improved version was on the horizon - those of us who have bought usually have a really sharp knife to unpack the thing before its out of date. Its just how the real world works. If you want a particular item at a particular time, and it is available at a stated price at that time, that is usually the price you pay. If the same company later the same day announces a forthcoming MK2 in the near future, again, welcome to the real world.
