I sympathise with your situation, but the glass half full perspective is this: The SE editions won't be available for three months. How long would it have taken for you to save up? (<rhetorical>) You are enjoying your kit NOW. You will be able to upgrade if you want to and, given your situation, perhaps you might be able to engineer a good price for an upgrade in the future which won't be much more that the incremental retail cost from non-SE to SE?

Edit: Upgrades TBC of course.
