The best time to buy will be 1 day or 1 week AFTER you've made your purchase, whenever that may be.

Seriously, there hasn't been any notification of any new model or any big deal about to come through the system, so anything you read here is purely speculation.

I learned long ago that waiting for the best time means never buying, because once a new model comes out, there will eventually be a newer model. And when the new model is out, you're torn between the lower cost older model (until they're all sold out) or the higher prices newer model. And reading the reviews won't help much, because you'll get some who love the new as an improvement over the old and then you get others who love the old and don't think that anything in the new model was done correctly.

My advice -- when you have the money, buy the product which is available and don't keep looking over your shoulder at what might have been a better deal. You won't get an ulcer that way -- make your decision, make sure you like the product you're buying, and enjoy it without any remorse.
