I guess it's an individual matter. One must ask themselves if the feature difference between old and new is worth the money. Personally, I enjoy being one level behind. I'm now very seriously considering an upgrade from my XP-80 to the Fantom 76 because the new Fantom X is going to or should lower the market value on the Fantom 76. I generally can easily live without the latest and greatest. But that's just me.

Peace
