What do you think?

I could order a highly specced 570S (gorgeous in white!) and chop in my 650S Spider without spending a penny.

Pros:
Latest model.
Brand new car.
Easily enough performance for just about anywhere I could ever drive.
Lovely looking thing (650S is a bit iffy).


Cons:
No open top driving.
No Aero - I love that thing bouncing about in the rear view mirror!
Not the same completely insane performance (even if I rarely use it!).
Not the same exclusivity (they'll sell bucket loads of 570S's, it'll be as common as muck)


Will the 650S do a RamboLambo and suddenly be worth the price of a small diamond mine in a few years?
With McLaren reportedly planning 17 new models in the next 5 years will the 570S become the "Go to car"?
Should I wait for a Spider 570S or just hang on for the 650S replacement (720?) and throw in the extra few quid?

Thanks for all the replies.
You know when you just start getting that itch for something different?

Spent Sunday flying about in the gorgeous weather, the open top is really a must.

I will wait for now, at least until a convertible 570, or the 650S replacement.
