Terasic DE1-SoC availability?

It's me again... I just wanted to add that I do wish to buy a Cyclone V SoC board. But I wish to know, do I wait for this new board, or shell out 100$ more right now for the currently available SoCKit?

If I would know for example that the DE1-SOC would be available only in 3~4 months, then I would get the higher-priced SoCKit (although I would require to also buy the HSMC to GPIO adapter, that's another 50$, if I wish to experiment with addon hardware/breadboarding). But then again, if I would know that in a few days/weeks, the DE1 will be available, then it would be a shame to have paid 100$+50$ more for featured I don't necessarily need, and missing on other features I do care, when I could have just waited a week or two.

Don't you just hate this complete silence regarding availability of products? It's like a gamble. Do I get the existing board, or do I wait (for how long)? I guess Terasic pretty sure know also that if they announce availability, some people will stop ordering SoCKit and wait for the new board. They want to milk on their SoCKit... or I just see conspiracy everywhere :D
