Thanks Ronni, well I've been just about to buy one through the previous 2 or 3 iterations. I suppose if I keep waiting, there will always be a better one just 'around the corner'. :)
It will be mid next year when my logical next opportunity presents itself irrespective of if there's a new model or not. Will check with this forum then.
