When I went in the Navy oh so long ago I was a tec. I loved taking things apart, putting them back together, tweaking, adusting, calibrating, tuning, oiling, polishing, fixing. I walked, talked, swam, dreamed tec stuff. Then after 2 years working with all kinds of aircraft, I realized that I wanted to fly them, not work on them, and I told the Navy that I would not re-up unless I flew. If need be, I would go into another service. Even the Army. Thus began my flying career.
Now days though I am still aware of tec stuff, I much prefer using machines than working on their innards so I didn't really mind what edition hardware or software is on my machine as long as they work and do what I want and need.
So what is the point of what I said?
From the flyer: Don't buy something that doesn't already do what you need it to do.
From that young tec guy: The first model of anything will have the most problems. Wait at least for the second model.
From the flyer: Listen to that young tec guy. He set me on the right path long ago.
