It seems like there are not major hardware issues, and software can always be updated.
But, Apple does seem to use a strategy of holding back some features in the 1st gen. model so that it can "add value" to the next release. So the main question is whether you're willing to trade off 6-9 months of use for the strong possibility that come early next year you'll be want to buy the next generation model because of some new feature.
Remarkably Apple's products do seem to retain a fair degree of resale value, so you might be able to get some of the cost back.
