Pages - to buy, or not to buy, that is the question

I think I might have to splash out on Pages, Apple's word processor for the iPad. I don't really want to; the reviews have suggested that it's an excellent product but with severe restrictions when it comes to sharing files (no integration with the cloud, for example) and I had planned to hold off for a later version. Unlike most technology purchases, however, the trade-off between "buy now use now" and "buy later get better features" is less important since any upgrades to features are likely to be rolled out for free to existing users.

Hesitance is, therefore, illogical and I should buy the app as soon as I have a use for it. As of now, the only use I have for it is to enable me to write rich text blog posts but, as Pages only costs £5.99, it still seems like a bit of a bargain so I think I'll take the plunge. I'll let you know how I get on.
