After all, even if based on an existing design this is effectively a new product.

Personally I always try and wait a year or two before purchasing in order to let the early glitches get sorted.
I know what you mean. Many people look at the 1200G and think it's just the 1210 relaunched, they just don't get that it's a totally new product but a better product. My new deck will be here in about 3 weeks!
