If the new one is even exactly the same, it is worth the money. I got the MX 1000 Laser Mouse a while ago and I have to say that it has changed my opinion of Logitec entirely. I have had nothing but good luck with it. It is energy efficient even though it has a recharging lithium core. The signal is stronger than any cordless device I have seen. I can't even survive without the back and forward buttons coupled with the handy program swap button. (Similar to Alt+Tab for those who don't have one.) The bundled software is decent as well for editing it. You can even make different button profiles; Example: Have it set up to be a music remote while working on a paper for class or even hosting a small get together; Disable all buttons except for left and right to do a PP presentation. The scroll wheel is adjustable and has scroll buttons for more controlled scrolling. I got the last generation of MX Mice. If the new one is even exactly the same, it is worth the money.

I liked it so much, I bought a second one for home. And I realize just how much I have come to depend on the "freespin" functionality when I find myself occassionally using a public PC and I have to slowly wheel / click my way to the information I seek. $99 is a bit steep (based on the whining of my collegues) - Logitech might sell more if they can realize a $59 price point.
