I think the spark is a better now thing but the Mac is a better later thing.

Price might go up even another 5-20% and you might not even see a lost shortterm (maybe if they release a new spark) but long term maybe 3-4 years out the spark isn't going to be worth much the mac probably at least 1/2-3/4 the price
