I agree that it's smartest to wait at this point, there should be new models very soon and you can either get one of those or get the discontinued model at a discount. I'm not crazy about the current models, they seemed like a stopgap while they were waiting for the next gen of chips.
I sort of agree as well. the current generation of machines are theoretically extremely good, but there are a couple of gotchas which stop them performing anywhere near their potential. However, they are still a big step up from the previous generation.
However, when the new models come out things might change, and even if there are still performance problems, the performance might be so good that it won't matter.
