Acela Express set's future availability?

I've read on certain sites that Bachmann will improve some of the details on its Acela Express set. Now is there any truth to this?

I ask only because I'm in the position to purchase a new Acela set for a considerably good price but am trying to decide whether or not it would be better to wait for the updated set to be released (if there is going to be one). My main concern with the current set is the extremely delicate drawbar system.

So is there going to be an updated set released? And if so, when can we expect it? Or should I just go with what's already available? Thanks!

Dear Robbs,
I have heard nothing about updating the set. I'd get one when you're ready.
Have fun!

I've got to agree with Robbs. Well, I don't have the set, but my friend does. He cant run his for 2 reasons. 1. Almost all of the couplers are broken. I forgot to tell him Bachmann has replacements in the Order Parts part of this website. 2. The front plow kinda thingy hit part of his rail and derailed it, so he does'nt have it on there anymore.
