I periodically notice individuals who are "trading up" their 155's EDF/EDFS for the new 160...is there that much of an appreciable performance gain (only a 5 mm increase in aperature!) that motivates people to move to the 160?

Some folks just like to have the "latest and greatest." I don't think it is any more complicated than that. Some folks just have to have a new car every year or two, whether they need it or not.
