OK, I'll take the bait.. reasons for not upgrading straightaway?

First and foremost, I love the Mark 1 and don't have an immediate need to change it. There's also the small matter of the fact that I got mine second-hand, and the original owner will be exercising his discount, so I would have to pay full price for an upgrade to the Mark 2. Finally, the new features available in the Mark 2 aren't high on my priority list.

My only real desire to own a Mark 2 would be for the new face and rotary knob. I'm going to wait until Empeg offers that as a add-on upgrade to the Mark 1 units, and see how much it ends up costing. Depending on how much I could sell the Mark 1 for, it may or may not be cheaper to sell/buy than to add on a new face.
