Keep telling yourself that. Just because you don't see the reason to move or change doesn't mean there aren't valid reasons. Just because this guy went the opposite direction doesn't mean much either, other than that he must not have tried before he buyed (bought). Otherwise why would he have not made the "right" choice for him first time around? I'm so stupid because I have a NEX-7 and a D800.
