No, Apple only gets a few refurb units at a time (less than 10) and they sell out VERY quickly. A CS rep told me that you have to get up early to buy them (7-8AM) before they disappear since you save...

Personally, none of the rumored updates floating around is either a) cost-feasible or b) worth waiting for.
