Yeah probably worth a wait, if only for the potential price drop on the older model- though the A17 seems to have settled in at 260-270 for sale prices, might end up the standard price, unless they are completely changing production over to the new models.
I picked mine from razordog audio with their $50 off promo for $250. It is a great price, considering all features this little thing packs.
Bluetooth APT-X is no joke. It is much much better than regular A2DP, when paired with HUGO. 16/44 with apt-x is genuinely good, even though range is short (<5 ft).
