[USA] S8 Pro Ultra trade-in to S8 MaxV Ultra Thoughts?

Our S8 Pro Ultra cost $1345 back in December '23 as we got the 2 year warranty extension (+1 more from AMEX). We love it...runs a few times a week on the main floor and reduces my manual cleaning to zero. It avoids dogs and baby stuff well, with decent transitions from hard floor to carpet.

The S8 MaxV Ultra is appealing...RGB camera of the Max line, voice commands to the unit, and presumably better suction/mopping, but at +$1000 for an upgrade, I am hard-pressed.

Anyone have any additional tricks for discounts or feedback on the upgrade?

More Details:

I got a trade-in offer for our nearly new S8 Pro Ultra in about 12 hours. It has 60 hours and was graded A with a $900 trade-in value (pending receipt and hands-on review). I did 15 minutes of cleaning and pictures, but it wasn't great.

The S8 MaxV Ultra coming in at $1800, with points discount ($45 discount), referral link ($54 discount in 3 months), and trade-in funds ($800), still brings the new unit to $975 post-tax and shipping. I thought there was another $200-400 off but seems I was wrong or it disappeared.
