One possible mature strategy is to ONLY test drive the 28i, buy it, and be very happy you did. I did not follow the mature path myself so now I am awaiting the arrival of my 35i.
I followed your same path and did not go the mature route! Drove the 28i and thought "this is good, nimble and quick". Drove the 35i and said "holy s#it, I LOVE IT"! Couldn't go back after that!
