That's a poor analogy. I'm talking about a superior version that you KNOW is going to come out versus getting a lesser version and THEN getting the superior version. If I have evidence that a vastly superior version is coming out in little more than a couple years, I'll wait. If it's just a wait for a price drop, then it depends on exactly how expensive a product is and how much of a price drop can be reasonably expected.
As with everything, it's relative to the situation at hand, and in this case it seems to me the best decision is to just wait a year.

"On two occasions, I have been asked [by members of Parliament], 'Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?' I am not able to rightly apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question." ~ Charles Babbage (1791-1871)
