I don't know your financial situation but seems to me you've made a wise economic decision. The only way to soften the huge depreciation of these very expensive trucks (really any vehicle or RV) is to spread it over a lot of years and miles.

06 Chevy 3500 dually here as well. 110,000 miles. The majority of them pulling. Pretty much stock except for Salastic shocks & new shocks all round. Treated it like we maintain our boat. Nothing but the best of care.
From what I gather 06 was a great model year for Chevy. Very few issues.
Why trade a reliable known for a huge added cost for an unknown?

From someone who has owned buy the comparison from 2006 to 2012, there is no question in difference its night and day. As for economic, thats debatable, each person is different. If your happy stay happy.
As for buying a HDT/MDT thats also debatable, I have owned both a MDT (Freigthliner) and several 1 ton GM Trucks.. Again thats a personal choice. That depends on your use. My needs changed so I made the change. Did you make the right choice, are you happy???
Trucks will continue to go up, until the demand is less. I always pay more than anyone else, as soon as what I paid is mentioned, there is alway someone who paid less. But if your happy who cares..
I only buy GM 1 tons for what my needs are, and it has a 36 gallon tank. But we travel West and I do like the extra in-bed fuel tank and I prefer the Hauler Bed vs pick up bed. My Truck is for towing I haul nothing in the bed except the in-bed
tank and the Trailer Saver. So this is what fits my needs .. Happy Trails....
