Bob Revolution AW (2010) vs. CE (2011)?

Wanted to get your collective thoughts on this - Seriously thinking about buying a BOB Revolution AW from Toys R Us (on sale today, like downthread poster mentioned).

I was planning on buying a 2011 BOB revolution CE. I like that they upgraded the seat back, but the 2010 version on sale IS much cheaper.

 

What would you do? Buy the 2010? or is there justifiably better upgrades that would make you shell out the extra $ for the 2011 version?

    We have the 2010.  How was the seat back updated in the 2011?

    My DH and I were in REI yesterday looking at the CE and asking about the differences between last year and this.

    The guy said that besides the back they have upgraded the foam on the handle so that it weathers much better now-evidentially before it flaked off and didn't 'weather' as well. Also, on the footwell (not sure what it is actually called) where LO puts their feet as they age has been changed-before evidentially the fabric went over the frame but in the 2011 they have made it so that the fabric doesn't do that and it now has a rubber bumper on top of the front wheel-this is to keep it from wearing holes in the fabric from things running into it (or kids kicking their feet on it). 

    Also, they changed how the car seat adapter fits/works in it to make it much easier to use. Now it just clicks in-no need to unbolt anything etc.  There were some other differences but I stopped listening lol-all I could think of was food at that point:)

    I took some convincing since I am terminally cheap lol. But it seems the changes they made will help it be not only easier for us to use but also last longer. And if I am paying $450 for a stroller it better last till LO goes to school at least!

    The seat is more padded and firm.  The 2010 and earlier models had a hammock-style seat.
