I'm not saying the B4 is better than the B5. I am saying the B5 is marginally better. If you were buying new, go ahead and get the B5. If you already have the B4, keep it and spend the cash on tires and practice.
I agree. I've spent too much time and money on my B4.2 just to jump ship as soon as the newest version comes out. Practice, batteries, tires, aluminum parts, etc. Besides, I love the damn thing. While everybody was buying a B5 or B5m, I was purchasing a new B4.2 and C4.2 combo from AMain for 285. I sold the B4.2 kit for 200, so I basically got a Centro Kit for 85 bucks. I'm more than happy with that. I'll look into getting a B5(m) when the FT kit comes out.
