i currently have a black chrome red led provari v1, i really really want a provari v2 black satin with blue LED. should i buy it and sell my v1 when it comes to help recoup some of the money? cant afford to keep them both or i would. my only issue really lies in how much could i sell my v1 for? my OH has pretty much OK'd the whole thing under the pretense that i will be able to sell my v1. im just not sure how much of the money i can recoup doing this. i wanted the black with blue LED in the first place, but i was impatient, and as soon as i bought this one, they announced the v2 which kinda made me mad. what would you do?

Even though its only a 20 dollar upgrade you would get more for it if its a v2. That's what the hype is right now and that's what people will look at first. I would send it in for an upgrade just for the resale value would be more than the 20$ it would cost you. Resale value on a provari is pretty high but as soon as the v2 came out the v1 interest might not be that big.

I love my red led satin provari! Just wondering why the blue led is so important?Dont get me wrong,I love the blue but...for me the red is fine.

I think it's not really all that important, but it is a defining factor for most. Just like we all don't buy the same color car, having a choice between outside finishes and inside color is nice.

Personally I like the red on the black satin, but think the blue will contrast nicely with the chrome and the satin silver models and thus bought accordingly. :)

If your concern is beyond cosmetics ( satin and blue led ), you can simply upgrade your current V1 to a V2 for $20.

I'm in the same boat as you, btw. And yeah I'm a little ticked off that I buy a V1 and the V2 come out right after. Now I have to be without my ProVari while it gets upgraded...
