They assume, however, and I think reasonably, that there will be an at least as good choice once they're in the market.
I find myself in EXACTLY this position right now. Having splurged on a Libra Colour 6 weeks ago, the discovery this week that my Sage is preparing to pine for the fjords is very bad timing. I'd love a new Sage, as a much superior reader to the Colour, but unless I get some unexpected extra work, I'll be making do with what I have, for now.
