Should I?
Local dealer just offered me $42k for my 2010 with 42,000 miles on trade for a 2012 @ $52k. I'm honestly 50/50. It seems like as the 6.7's get more miles on them, we're discovering they aren't quite what their cracked up to be.
Crazy how there can only be $10,000 difference in two YM spread and 42,000 miles. I guess the interest rate on a used 2010 will more than make up for it when they sell it.

I don't think there is enough evidence to force me to trade yet. I get offers in the mail all the time. I am not buying yet.
I don't like the turbo issues and tranny issues and not truely convienced they have it entirely solved yet.

So new warranty and 400/800 for 10k?

There's several problems with the 6.7. Not 6.0 type problems but problems none the less.
Turbos and HPFPs are the main problems.
Tranny has a fair amount of issues as well.
Been several 6.7 drop a valve and grenade.
Comparatively speaking, the 6.7 is doing great. There's just a few things that need sorted out some yet that can turn serious if warranty is denied.

I've test driven one TWICE. You're right, it's no where near the same feeling, but it is pretty nice compared to a non-tuned 6.4.

Sounds like a rampant trany issue...
Yet there are few problems over all. The squeaky wheel gets all the attention. I've not had a single complaint with my 2012...2011 was not that bad either.

It just depends on what you need or want. Not really an issue of trying to compare the two motors.
I need 55,000 miles/year towing work trailer all over the country. Better economy, warranty, and great driving truck is for me. No tuning/lifting/custom stuff. It's a really nice truck to drive every day. The 6.4 I had, got 150,000 miles out of it, never could get it to last more than 40,000 miles without a coolant problem. So I had to move on. 6.7 is being perfect for me so far.
If you only tow occasionally, don't travel great distances and run a lot of miles and like to tune and mod the suspension, then I don't know. Pretty much just whatever makes you happy.
What I need out of a truck, I wouldn't take a free 6.4 at this point. Probably would take a 6.0 that has been updated though.

True dat 
I had tuned every one of my previous diesels and I so like this one as is that, while I looked, have not gone for tuning - happy with the power and torque stock !
hook up the 5er and @ 23k total it just sounds stronger !
