The last time I checked, money was real. Value is a real thing, and the value of synthesizers is constantly changing. This is a true fact about the world.
Now I'm sorry, but there's no way simply looking into how the value might change in reference to the synths you're thinking about purchasing could be bad. It's just information. How the OP uses the information is up to him.
I'm not even suggesting any course of action based on the information. I'm not suggesting how much importance he should place on what he learns either. These things are up to him, and he should buy whatever synth he wants for whatever reasons he wants.
He has a right to consider all of the information regaurding these synths that there is, and we have a right to talk about it. This is a thread for comparing three synths that are, at this time, of approximately the same value. Whether and to what extent this will change is a perfectly legitimate aspect of the comparison... As is discussing maintenance costs, and the prospect of shipping costs vs. Picking one up locally at a music store, etc. All of these things are appropriate, pertinent, and on topic.
You might not think this information is personally helpful, but it's not your money that's being invested, it's not your thread, and you're perspective is not the only one that is being considered right now. The best way to have a comparative discussion is to entertain a variety of perspectives on the topic. You and the others have given a lot of excellent advice on other aspects of the decision. This aspect was missing. Now, I've added it.
This looks like a psychotropic reaction. No wonder it's so popular...
