As we mentioned in our post on The New P2, the changing of the calendar year is often marked by manufacturers redesigning, or re-releasing their product in similar or updated guises. And while this has its benefits in terms of innovation and performance standard for the buyer, it also benefits a different group entirely; that of the bargain hunter.

A lot of people are quite happy to sacrifice the contentment of contemporary, in the aid of a reduced price tag on its predecessor, and with the last days of 2013 having rolled under our wheels over a month ago, last year’s stock has been progressively dwindling with the subsequent reductions.

There are however still some bargains to be had, and here’s our run down of the stand-out examples:
