And IMO if you get an no LED version now, down the line you will feel that you should have waited a little longer.

This is not the fault of the LED bulbs, but it's just a design limitation.

My suggestion? Just look until you find a 2011 with the OEM LEDs or a 2012,especially since you said you don't really need one now.

I know a fair number of people who actually prefer non-LED coronas. I'm not one of them, but I DO prefer the look of the LUX style LEDs in the early coronas over the later style independent coronas. They are just so damn bright, I find it almost obnoxious.
