Hi Phil, I am one who never purchases version 1 of any product especially computer software and hardware. That said, I believe you should monitor the reflector when the new product is released to see what problems if any are being reported. I'd say wait at least 3 months but no more than 6 months (ballpark figure based upon gut feeling). Also note that demand for the new units will be high and it may take some time after you make your decision to actually obtain one.
Additionally, most problems are immediately adressed by Flex so if you do encounter a problem your resolution will not be far behind. Hope I helped!
