I bought an 07 Buell and traded it in on an 08 SG after making 2 payments. It cost me 2K to put 5K mileson the Buell. Not a bad deal IMO.
Guess it is all relative - trade-ups don't seem to be doing to great right now for the most part. Wide availability makes it a buyers market on the used bikes (and the dealer is a "buyer") on a trade-in. Kinda like houses??? Keep the 07 and get the IDS, going to do it shortly myself....(My humble opinion...)
I have an '08, so I can't really compare... except my '08 has the IDS installed from the factory. This is one of the smoothest and quietest riding bikes I've ever owned.
Just a little advice, don't trade your '07. You'll take a severe beating about the head and face from your wife. Just get the IDS installed, THEN decide if you need anything like Power Commander, etc.

The Autoworkers just went on stike at GM today. If it's a long drawn out battle, deals on 08's may not be far behind. That said, I hope the strike's a short one.
