Reply to Buy maschine mikro 1 now for $199 or wait for mikro 2?

my first controller for prodction. I want to keep it really simple. I heard mikro 1 is probaly getting the 1.8 update anyway. i find the crazy colors of the new mk2 kind of distracting. do we know the street price of it yet. if its still $249 might be worth it but if its the $399? on the NI site im not down with that. what to do? I probably would just buy it and store it for a month (really busy with school and work right now) just to get the lower price before the supply runs out.
