A bit of a bummer if you all get to within a year or so of upgrade only to see it go back up a few years out of reach again. Who knows though...I have no idea what I'm talking about and am just speculating like anyone else.

I plan to upgrade before the CBA to beat the potential wave and I know many others who are planning the same.
