Should I wait for the facelifted Ford Mondeo due in October 2010?

I am in the process of buying a new Ford Mondeo and wonder if the facelifted model due in October 2010 is worth waiting for. I know it will have daytime running lights but little else? Can you advise what other changes are being made and if I should delay my purchase? Also, could you advise on the performance of these two Ford diesel engines; the 140 and 163 ps? Is the vibration and smoothness compromised with the higher power?

In car-by-car breakdown on this site. I'm not too sure that the facelift is an improvement.
