I, from my part would be happy to pay 3-4 times as much now for an upgrade with 3-4 Christophe work years worth of improvement. What do I need the years and years of excitement for? I would even pay more, e.g. $500 instead of $200 to have it all now. I'll find other things to wait for in life also, don't worry about that. S.Taylor
