NX1 promotion kit or wait for NX50 ?

I have almost read every thread about the NX1 here as my intention was to buy the NX1 when I saved enough money for it.

I didnt expect any promotions for it coming this early (less than half a year since release) but today I stumbled across this in Sweden by Cyberphoto.se

NX1 + 16-50 PZ kit will cost with the promotion 12800 SEK (Swedish krona) which is about $1500 here in Sweden. The promotion must come from Samsung but I have not seen it elsewhere in Sweden nor in Europe. Do you know about any such promotions? The promotion is body only or with PZ kit (20%).

I expected to buy the NX1 with both S lenses or wither of them later this year, but I cant really resist to start with the PZ kit. As I am no pro it seems right to choose the cheaper option to start with and then step up later. I think I need at least the long S lens later as my intention is to cover indoor sports (athletics / track and field). Mostly stills, some video

Am I thinking right to buy the "cheap" NX1 promotion kit now and then add lenses later or should I wait and maybe head for the NX50 (as I am no pro). Wait also means there may be other lens options.

The combination of not being a professional and the intention to shoot indoor sports make the choice of what to buy a bit complicated. If not indoor sports, then I would have settled with PZ and maybe 30mm. Maybe there are some other lenses to choose from also when I intend to buy a lens that is good for indoor sports.

After the weekend I will decide if I go for the promotion kit. Any input...
