Agreed - if you're enjoying CV, why look for a trade right now? If an MBr is announced as the next PPS remake prices will come down and you'll be able to do a more even trade for a really nice MB (or sell the CV and buy an MBr if you like). And even if PPS remakes AFM or something else next, it's still hard to imagine MB prices skyrocketing since it'll still obviously be on the short list for a future remake. In other words, there's little downside to waiting if you're still loving the CV, and could be a significant upside if a remake announcement drives down MB prices.

Maybe, but Farsight was able to get the license with seemingly no problem for the Pinball Arcade (didn't even need a kickstarter) so licensing may not be as big of a deal as people think. As has been repeated without end in the various "what's next, PPS?" threads, licensors exist to make money, and to do that they have to issue licenses.
