How will Z97 and Haswell refresh affect currently available Z87 boards and Haswell CPUS?

It's probably extremely difficult to determine pre-release. I'm wondering what people predict will happen to prices on current gear. I'm planning to buy a Z87 board and 4670k.

Wait, they are literally around the corner and prices of Z97 isnt shocking.

Thanks stulid. One of the reasons I'm still considering Z87 is because I would kind of like to run Windows 7 and OSX Mavericks. If there were decent savings to be had as well, that would make the decision easy. If the savings are minimal then I'd rather go for hardware with more potential.

The Z87-D3HP has dropped in price by a fair bit, was £100+ now its £77
