Woodland Wanderer/Undergrowth Champion price spec

I am definitely picking up a play set of each of these guys for my RUG deck. The question is this:
who is buying and who is waiting? Reasoning?
Undergrowth champ's ship has sailed, but I'm someone who has bought a playset of Wanderer since I know I like what it does and I feel it's slight potential to see modern play (where splashing for up to 4 colors is even easier) could affect it in the future.
Keep in mind Siege Rhino is currently about the same price as the wanderer. Rhino is played very heavily in both standard and modern but was printed in a heavily opened set and then reprinted in a side product. The same could happen to wanderer, so if the card spikes up to 10 or more dollars, I'd be likely to trade off or sell.

What do you mean Spootyone, that Champion's ship has sailed? It's too high to buy now?

I would think so, yeah. I don't see the card being good enough to go beyond 25 a piece. I think Deathmist Raptor's history proves to be a good example of what could happen with the champ. If you're planning on playing them in the near future, then of course buy them. But if you're buying them as a spec, then that ship has sailed.

Would anyone go deeper than a single playset into Woodland Wanderer?

I think Woodland Wanderer could be a decent pick up right now. It eats Rhinos and Tas, and doesn't die to Roast (given that you pump 4 colors into it - even with 3 it trades with the listed creatures). It's sitting under $4, and it has the potential to spike like Rhino did.
I'd wait on Undergrowth Champion. It's one of those cards that could either stay in the $20 range like Deathmist or fall flat on its face, depending on how well it does in practice. The ideal time would have been to preorder about a week ago, when they were under $10 a piece.
