I wouldn't concern yourself with the latest and greatest. Get out on ya bike and enjoy what you have then maybe upgrade later. There is always bargains after Christmas.
Remember its you powering the thing.
Though a have a collection of newer bicycles, my most fav bike to ride offroad is a 1947 Speedwell 'Popular deluxe" back pedal, single speed.
