Yup, I've ordered mine. I think I went with the larger version, but otherwise the same.

Physically, my computer is still working fine. But a lot of programs no longer support the OS that I'm running, and I do not want to go up a whole major release. Not only am I concerned that my old machine might not have the power to run it adequately, but the storage on this thing is pretty full and I doubt I have enough free space to install the newer OS versions.

So I basically did the same calculations you have, and came to a similar conclusion. Except that I just ordered it last week, and it will be another couple of months before it gets delivered.
