We all get burned in this way. Apple could warn us of impending changes, but 
then people would hold back from buying until the new one comes. So   in order 
to maximize profit, they have this code of silence. I try to follow RevDave's 
advice too, but sometimes you gotta upgrade and can't wait any longer - and 
then they introduce new models the next month.

I think the key deciding factor is how much of an upgrade is it. Sometimes 
Apple makes a revolutionary upgrade, and sometimes its a minor one. They like to 
announce something every so often, so sometimes the changes are quite minor. 
That might be the case now. Although going to 8 cores is better, its unclear 
how much real world increase in power this is because the software has to take 
advantage of the changes. Its definitely not twice as fast a 4 cores.
