Almost decided...
Ok so I thought I was decided but then was confused by being introduced to another option 
Long story short, now debating between Trek Domane 4.3 and the 4.5. The difference in price is $200. The 4.5 looks much nicer as well (IMHO). The catch? The 4.5 is out of stock everywhere and Trek's inventory system is showing a new model coming July 2016. So...what to do? Get the 4.3 now or wait for a new 4.5? What would you do?

Woman make me faster
+1 wait. If t difference in components looks good for the $200 then buying the lesser model might always bug you.July is not to far out.

How punctual are the releases? Pre-order options? Is July 2016 likely going to be September 2016?
A lot would depend on your needs and goals. Is this bike replacing a wrecked bike, and you'll be walking between now and when the new bike comes in?
Or is it just an additional bike?
Or is it your new winter rain-bike?
I'd be tempted to wait for the new model to arrive. But, are the differences really that big? Maybe do some upgrades on your own?
