The point of the comment about the Beaujolais wine wasn't quite addressed by the dictionary. A Beaujolais is a wine that is made in the Spring and is meant to be drunk young, as soon as it is bottled. You never age a Beaujolais.
So the real question was, why trade in something that is already good and will hopefully get better for something as-yet untried?
I think the new, black R9's are stunning, and I now wish I'd waited to buy mine, so I could get a new one instead. But I'm not willing to take a loss trading in the old one that is, so far, flawless, to buy a new one for more money.
Also, I'm curious... I didn't study the specs on the new ones, but won't the old accessories still work? The holsters, screws, springs, etc.? The gun is basically the same, right -- just the finish is different? Or did I miss something?
Just curious.
