So after that sob story saying I would hold off on getting one because I didn't need a new one right away, I ended up ordering one. I had some money stashed away for travel that I won't be using it turns out, so there was no compelling reason to wait simply for the sake of waiting.
For what it's worth, my estimated delivery date is the 16th but I notice if you were to order one now, the page at apple.ca now says for delivery by the 18th, so I suspect they are rapidly headed towards backordered status.
