Antec P182: is there an upgraded/newer model coming?

Curious as to whether anyone knew if the P182 would be superceded by a newer model anytime soon? I used one in a build about a year ago (and still love it), now I'm planning another build.

Also - I got a pretty good deal at the time at the local Micro Center along with a $30 rebate. Have been keeping track but not seen any rebates in the last several months. Is it reasonable to assume that Antec will have rebates again in the 1st quarter?

TIA.

check the spcr articles. P183 is coming. however, the improvement is marginal. if you get a good deal with microcenter, go for it. i have the p182 and i got it for less than 1/2 price in microcenter, it is a good case, but i don't think it is worth paying full retail for it.

I'm even considering buying another P182 while I can ('cause I don't like the looks of the P183) - easily the best case I've used.

My cost last March, after rebates, was something like $70. I'll definitely get another if the price gets near that. Should have bought 2 back then.
