G75? Can we "upgrade"?

I bought my G74SX last month, but then G75 is coming out in April. :S Makes me wish I waited for the G75. Is there a possibility of "upgrading" to the G75 for 25~50% off, or should I just wait until I can afford to buy a G75?

And I am thinking this only because of some of the issues with the G74 that I *HOPE* are fixed in G75.

That is insane...no die shrinks, all of 23 (yes, thats twenty-three) MHz faster (a whopping 4% "overclock"), and an increase in TDP of 5 Watts! I would think that overclocking the G74's 560M by 4% would not net you that much more heat, and probably not any measurable heat increase at all!

Fail, NVIDIA...and therefore Asus G75

if that's true there is only one month to find out, if Asus will do that they'll make a step back, we'll see. The price will be essential if we are talking about a rebrand (except cpu). I hope they are not playing with us.
Your lack of skills it's just depressing!
