Upgrade from s8+ to note 9

[TBBZ8X8]

Alright so it's that time of the year when I want an upgrade. I was going to get the pixel but the notch ended up being too big and then I was going to get the oneplus 6t but it only kinda works on Verizon and even though the software is better than my s8, it still feels like a hardware downgrade. Anyways I ended up deciding on the note 9 as my new phone and through a special deal with my parents, only have to pay for $400 of it. And if I sell my s8 I'll probably get around $300. So $100 for a brand new note 9, doesn't sound to bad right? The thing is now that I've thought about it I am like it doesn't really seem like an upgrade. My s8 is fast, beautiful, and after some tweaking, does everything I would ever want it to. So is it worth it? Or should I just wait until someone makes a compelling phone or mine just gets too old? Bear in mind that the deal with my parents applies to any phone but I can only use it once every 2 years.

Single generation upgrades are never worth it. You said it yourself:

Sounds like a one way ticket to buyer's remorse to me

So you mean you have to use the deal now or you'll have to wait another 2 years?

No I can use it whenever but just not within 2 years of the last time I used it
