Default Trade in for a 2011 Rubi or keep the 2010 X?

I know this is a horrible idea, but I might not be content until I do it. I'm thinking of trading my 2010 black JKU X in for a 2011 Rubicon Unlimited. Honestly, one of the main reasons is that the 2011 interior is ALOT more comfortable than the 2010 - took a 3 hour trip in my buddie's new 2011 this weekend. I take quite a few long road trips and the 2010 inside kills me. I'm 6'3" and about 210 and can't find a comfortable position ever, especially for my arms and my right knee is always hitting the console. The reason for the Rubicon upgrade would just be for the hell of it, might as well, right? I was being fiscally responsible with my X, but could swing the payments for a Rubi I think.

Thoughts? Has anyone else traded in their rig that quickly? I know I'll be eating some $$$, but I can live with it. Are there any major changes that anyone knows about coming to the JK in the next 1-3 years that I should wait on?

I was thinking the same thing with my 10 Sport JKU, but more just because I want the Rubicon, I don't have issues with the interior in mine but I'm not that tall. What made me wait is the potential for a new engine next year. I would much prefer more horsies so I can wait another year.

You're gonna take a hit because you 10 won't be worth what you have left to pay on it but I'm not sure how much that will actually end up being. If you're that uncomfortable then might as well make the switch now.

2012 Wrangler will net you the new interior and new engine.

Does anyone think the 3.8L Wranglers will lose resell value once the new V6 is introduced?
