[coady2000] “I am just concerned that right when I buy this, it will be out of date and crumble in my hands!”
That is the way it works with any technology. I remember purchasing one of the higher end laptops for editing and within three months there was new technology that was much more efficient and powerful.
If you are satisified with it now, then purchase it. If you think you need the extra features of the new version, then wait and purchase that one.
