$1650 for a 15" rMBP i7 2.4 ME664LL/A worth it?

Best Buy has a 10% open-box coupon today and tomorrow. They have at the store near me a ME664LL/A 15" rMBP. It is $1811.99, but after 10% off and after taxes and less certs I'll earn with their Triple Points promo (RZ Silver), it comes to right about $1650 out the door.

Retailing at $2200 it seems like a good discount, but with Haswell models looming, is it worth getting at this time? Thanks!

Hard to beat that. I'd get it simply because you have a 60-day return policy w/ RZ Silver. If you like Haswell, just return this one and get the new one. Go for it!

Yeah, I probably should have. They also had a Mac Mini with the i7 for $721.99 (would come to about $660 with the same tax/discount/RZ certs). Just contemplating the 15" rMBP to replace my 13" MBA or to get the Mini to add to the MBA.
