The only reason would be that you have a hard-on for a brand new keyboard.
Or you want one of the newfangled Model M's with the newer features.

I've never found a good reason to buy a new one. The old ones seemingly
more plentiful than AOL CDs, and they hardly ever break (until you spill
some unfortunate liquid into them, at least. :) A friend and I have taken a hammer to one before, and
it was still
working just fine after we put the keycaps back on...
I ran one over with a car by accident and most of the keys still worked,
even though the keycaps were broken.
