I'm a newbie, and about to buy my first bike - a R1200GS.

I've seen a bike that I like a lot - it's a  lovely low-kilometre early 2010 model with 77kW.  I know the bikes were upgraded later in 2010 to 81kW.  Should I have any reservations (in terms of reliability and resale value) about buying the 77kW as opposed to the (slightly more expensive) 81kW versions?
