Just bought the 12.1 and am very impressed by the kite, where can you get the 18.1 for 450?? sorry to rub salt in the wounds.
Keep your kites till end of season then buy the 2003 sale kites.

The "latest and greatest" will always cost you more.
Don't you realize that not only is your kite available for less money, but it is now obsolete, and probably doesn't even fly very well compared to this year's model? It doesn't have the newest vortex thruster panel modulators. Of course next year, you'll again have to buy another kite, due to technological breakthroughs...and on..and on...ad infinitum...

you pays your money and takes your choice.
its the same with everything. don't buy into the bigger better faster stronger routine, its all going to appear to have been so cyclical when we look back at it later.
