If (and when) DJI comes out with an MP2, I think the entry level price will be around $1300 - $1400 for a flyless, now that Gopro, Parrot and Yuneec are essentially out of the game.

The Spark is pretty limited compared to Mavic. I concur with Thunderdrones. Buy a good used or refurbed Mavic.

Amen! Others had their chance, but they opted to enter the market "half-assed".

I have loved my Mavic Pro for the past year. But I have some "play money" burning a whole in my pocket, and I'd really like to spend it on another drone.
After having flown the mavic pro, the phantom 4, and the spark, I think I've made my decision:
Time to buy a Mavic Platinum.
I don't understand the attraction to the Spark at all. Unless you absolutely cannot afford that extra $500, or you're into "cute and colorful".

Buy a MP referb and wait.....
Like some" we the hopeful" are.
For the next latest greatest Mavic Pro Titanium 2.0... with 360 deg sensors and Better optics
I think it will be a couple of yrs before the "Eye Tracker" model come out.!
(were you Put the Goggle/glasses on and look at a map for input for your Drone)

Well, I was Thinking to buy the spark because I already Own the Phantom 4 since it came out, and I think it could be great to experiment with because it's a cheaper option.
I love the size of the Mavic, and ease of set up, which was the #1 reason I bought it, but few mentioned how bad the images from it are. As a working photographer I really want better camera controls. Not a week goes by when I don't wish that Canon would jump into the drone sector.

I'd wait for the next generation Mavic with an actual improvement. I am. I'm buying whichever comes first, the Mavic 2 or the Phantom 5.

I on board with that...hoping for a Mavic II with a "beefier" camera.
You spelt Nikon wrong.
No but seriously to the OP; I own both the Mavic Pro Platinum and the Spark and I can say that I love both, for very different reasons. If I could only pick one, it would be the MPP though, hands-down.
I’ve also owned a few Phantoms and a Mavic Pro. I would choose the MPP over any Phantom - the Phantom line is just akward from a transport perspective. If I was going to be dealing with a large drone, I’d just get an Inspire and skip the Phantom all-together. If you get a MP/MPP of a Spark, I think you’ll agree.
If I had some money to play around with (that I didn't put into FPV drones) I would get a spark. It's a different drone and I'd love sometimes to have a little quad I can fly through tight spots and not worry too much. The Mavic even with prop guards is still too flimsy to out even near a risk
