lol, I know. Gonna be a while before I can get me a 55-250 IS. Sigh...
The 18-55 is going to get worn out.
I was going to just get an XS, but I wanted a more to date model as I plan on a 3-year time horizon for this. There's not much else they can do with Megapixels these days, so I'm guessing they'll start focusing on speed, IQ, etc.
