  I say pick up the sealed 7998 set now and save (or keep away from your wife) the money necessary to purchase 7189. Set 7189 will be around for at least a year and will remain the same price now and later. However, set 7998 will only go up in value based on supply and demand.
  
  Just buy what makes you happy. Cheers!

  First, when starting discussions, please categorize them properly by choosing the appropriate category from the drop down menu. "Brickset.com" is a category for discussions pertaining to the Brickset website. I'm going to move this discussion, but I'm not even sure where yet because there actually isn't an appropriate category. This leads me to the second issue...
  
  Your question isn't "a bit random"; it's very random. "Which set should I buy?" discussions are discouraged because they're just solicitations for opinions while the decision is personal. In fact, you already lay out the pros and cons in your original post. This has also been brought to your attention previously and you acknowledged it: http://www.bricksetforum.com/discussion/comment/2897/#Comment_2897
  
  Lastly, you created a discussion just yesterday about considerations for buying 7998 Heavy Hauler so you could have at least used that to contain this as a logical follow up rather than polluting the discussion space with another thread about a simple purchase decision.

  Please note that discussions of this sort (I have $50, what should I buy?) will continue to be discouraged here as they're simply a personal decision and rarely generate any positive discussion. I am therefore going to close the thread.
