Sure, but when you say things like this you aren't sharing experiences. You are being dismissive and rude:
"There must be something better to do than wait for some new thing to suddenly appear and make all tour problems go away."
So I called you on it. Believe me, if I had said this there are people on this board who would have piled on me far more angrily. They know who they are

Ok. So what happened is that my intention and your interpretation did not match. I apologise if my message felt rude and dismissive. Some of it may be just frustration, that came out hostile. I can surely appreciate direct and honest language, which you used right here. The main problem is that written words on a forum leave out all the non verbal communication. I'm sure you did not mean to be rude either, so it's all good.
The frustration and the experience I was trying to share: I regret having spent countless hours scrolling through internet market places, retailer websites, and youtube reviews looking for gear. I knew it was useless, and I knew that just enjoying music with other people would have been better use of my finite days here on Earth.
Time to move on.
PS. Gambold, we'd probably get along pretty well in person.

Re: April is about to end, and no new product release.
Selah!
Now back to the OP's original thought - which is should he wait for an update to the Electro or not? And if so, where is it and what could it have? I think the consensus is that who knows where it is, and when it comes out, if it ever does, it's probably not going to have been worth waiting for.
Nord is in danger of getting a little long in the tooth. Their product line is small and very good - but things aren't changing much. The Nord Grand is the only truly "new" item they've released in a long time and it's a totally boutique board - expensive, heavy, and destined to have limited appeal.

I’d argue the Wave 2 is “new enough” as it’s a major change from the original. My concern as an owner is that it doesn’t seem to be getting a lot of attention.

Re: April is about to end, and no new product release.
Problem with the Wave 2 is that it's hugely expensive. Unless you are full-time, successful synth musician, or the manager of a well-hired recording studio, you probably aren't in the market for a Wave 2. Most keyboardists don't have the skills and education needed to really master an instrument like that.
I'd guess that the bulk of keyboard players are people like me who buy something like an UNO for for 3-4 hundred bucks which pretty much handles all the arpeggiation and square lead sounds I need. I mean the Wave 2 is going to be over $3,000 after tax - that's a lot of jack for a synth.

Re: April is about to end, and no new product release.
I've just ordered a NS3 compact My distributor who has a direct contact with Nord sales department said that Nord is having obviously major supply problems and they focus on delivering current products to customers. If i am lucky it will arrive in June, if not probably in October. They said that it is almost impossible that they will announce new products this year... Sample Library 4.0 is still not available so they must be working on the software side of things rather than developing a new hardware.

The price increases haven’t helped. I got mine for $2100+tax new last summer. That puts it in a much more competitive place given its quality keybed and features.

The wave 2 is amazing. Worth every penny! Very underrated in my opinion. Although I do wish they would update it a little more frequently..

I agree, the Wave2 is a brilliant design and much powerful than it appears from the factory patches and online demos which barely scratch the surface of the instrument. This guy really delves into it:

However, I also believe that Clavia should make some type of public statement as to their intentions for the near future. They have been dark for a long time now-
