My gen1 hasn't missed a beat with anything I've thrown at it in the last year, so I haven't felt the need for 'more'. But I did make sure to get one of the heavier-hitting ones. Work has been large, image-heavy indesign docs, mid-weight illustrator work and batching stuff in PS. I can't see it failing me in the next 12 months either really. Conversely, the Apple wisdom of always buying the best you can probably applies.
Been thinking about getting a refurbished 1st gen or an edu discounted 2nd gen. Probably about £200 different. Would you still buy the 1st gen if you were in the market for one today? don't expect to use it for regular editing but can it run the odd sessions of Photoshop?
