i would imagine that with the introduction of the updated 2011 changes, the 2010 stuff should be reduced in price, if so - thats the direction i would go in for the savings.
re: single or dual pivots: doesnt matter, IMO, you'll adapt to either.
I read some where that they changed the ramps on the front dr to make shifts on the front easier. They also changed something in the shifters so it requires less effort to shift. Might not be a big deal. I suspect that they do these things so that the public thinks that the product is "New and Improved" when it really is about the same. I will wait and see what pricing looks like before I buy either 2010 or 2011.
