I would have much preferred to wait until the line was refreshed, but my toddler poured milk into my mid-2012 MBP and I needed another laptop now. Given the choice between a $2k MBP that's a couple of years behind in specs and a $1k Windows machine that I'd have to spend hours installing Linux on and dealing with getting all the compatibility issues dealt with... it made sense to buy the MBP.
