Thanks everyone! This has been helpful!
I did wonder if the new color was the "new" thing....
But, I can say, I have less anxiety about purchasing sooner rather than later.

Especially after reading the comments about upgrades, past increase prices and vw not being an option.
And it seems that we can stick with our current nic levels until we pick up other toppers. Right now we use mini protanks and they work well. Since we have adapters we should be able to use them on the provari until we upgrade. KFL+'s are at the top of this list but there are some others we are looking at as well. Guess you can never have too many, right?
Thanks again!
