Well, to each his own. I've only very rarely bought the first version of anything and not later regretted I didn't wait for the next iteration.
I had a CDP-101 too back in the day, but while it was an impressive piece of kit at the time I can't exactly say I think it was exceptional value for money. That's another reason to wait before buying of course - V.1 is generally priced high in the knowledge that many people have lots money and little impulse control, hence ensuring it'll sell regardless. Then, when the sales taper off, the price is reduced to a more realistic level.
