Although you state you won't upgrade, from experience I know you can never tell what's down the path.....you might decide to sell the lot & go back to compact. For these kind of reasons I usually stick to "nearly new" (eg. S/H 6 months old) to get best price, plus also the brands that keep money best (eg. Nikon / Canon) . From following this advice over the years I've managed to get hi end kit in areas such as Home Cinema, Hi-Fi, Digital Cameras & sometimes even cars, for decent prices & very little loss when selling on again.
Just another angle to look at things from. Best of luck with whatever you get & looking forward to the shots
