Upgrade from 3080 to a 4080 Super or wait for 5 series cards ?

1. Is it worth the money to upgrade ? Id get about £350 for the second-hand 3080 and then would need to spend another £500 for the 4080 super.
2. Common sense tells me to wait for the 5 series cards but then common sense also tells me they will be in very short supply and I probably wont be able to get one in the first few months of release and when they do finally become available they will also probably cost more than what a 4090 currently does.

Perhaps wait for the 5 series to be released and then get a 4090 once they go down in price (wishful thinking hoping they will drop to around £1k I guess) ?

I hate upgrading graphics cards, always seems such bad value for money.
