LV sub now or wait for ceramic?

I don't have a Rolex yet, so I'm trying to decide what my first one should be. I could get the green one now, or could wait for the new one to come out. I'm planning to get one watch to wear for everything.

Advantages of the new sub:
Glidelock clasp more adjustable (more comfortable)
Bezel more wear-resistant
Parachrom hairspring (more accuracy)
Longer-lasting lume
AR cyclops
More blingy
Service available longer
no diver's extension (I'd never use it)
will be "in style"
won't be "the old version" for the next 10-20-30 years

Advantages of the LV:
Clasp less likely to break
Bi-directional bezel with YM spring
Lighter (more comfortable)
More likely to become collectible
Cheaper
More stealthy
Crystal sticks up above bezel (like the look)
Bracelet looks proportional to case
Choice of bezel color (black/green)
Available now
Bezel can develop patina

Note that these are what I see as advantages, you might see them differently.
