Hello,
I'm planning on buying an older MiniDisplayPort equipped 27" LED Cinema Display, refurbished from Apple.
I'm trying to decide whether I should just go buy it now, or wait a few weeks, due to the upcoming 27" Thunderbolt Display launch...

Are there any trends pointing to a price reduction on the refurbished 27" LED older model once the thunderbolt display is launched, and any reasonable predictions as to how much the price actually will drop based on the introductions of past monitors? If it's something like $50, I'll just buy it now, but if it drops $150 or more I'd prefer to wait.
Thanks!

no one really has a clue except that the new display should launch "this year"....even that isn't a certainty. Sorry, but you are just going to have to make an "uninformed" decision about this one.
