2011 Schwesser Notes Now Or Wait For 2012 Version?

I'm planning on sitting for CFA® 
L1 in June 2012 after year 1 of B-School. I won't be able to register for the test until this July or get the new CBOK till then either. I want to start studying right now though. Does the test change that much (or at all) year over year? Should I just pick up the latest Schwesser notes right now and start hitting it for a few months before school starts? I was looking at the package that includes the notes, the cheat sheets w/ formulas and the practice questions. That should suffice right? No need for the ultra-premium $1300 package, correct? Thanks a lot guys!

Not indicative of next year's changes but yeah.

If you have a year of studying ahead of you, you will destroy it as long as you are able to retain all the garbage you learn. One thing that really helped me was question bank software. Stall has PassMaster and Schweser has QBank. Getting used to question format is like half the exam.
