Buy used, Upgrade or Hold until next MBP Revision?


so i've found 15" mbp (early 2011) 2.0 qc i7 standard configuration i'm looking $1200. have 2011 13" mbp i5 (upgraded 8 gb memory , 750 gb hard drive.

i'm curious guys think best plan. hoping upgrade new 15" macbook pro when it's released next (assuming it's still pro computer , doesn't move air setup , redesign).

plan a: don't buy used 15" mbp, keep 13" mbp , upgrade have 128 gb ssd + 750 gb hd (optibay), sell @ next release. i'm thinking adding ssd (~$120), i'll recoup cost , sell quicker.

plan b: absolutely nothing, sell during next revision.

plan c: sell mine, buy 15" - upgrade ram 8 gb. sell @ next revision. think it's possible break or maybe make money 15"? 2011 15" i7's going $1400-1600 around here.

final question: 15" mbp has 256 mb graphics card. part of reason upgrade running fcpx/motion, use more processing power (quad core) , effects benefit graphics card. standard 512/1gb card. i'm wondering if 256 mb card wouldn't much.
 

it's not worth work 15", 1 6490.

plan b.
