So I have an upgrade available. Currently on the Lumia 920. Wanting to stay in the Windows Phone realm and just wondering if I should just do it now and get the 1520 or if I should hold off and wait for the next phone to be released?
The 1520, relatively to your 920, is big, and possibly beginning to show its age(?) though still superb. The 930 is not big, has faster processor etc., but is perhaps not yet available for you.

Has a fast processor compared to what?
Assumption is you're in the US & on AT&T ...
Depends upon your use case (& AT&T's continuing sub'd upgrades). Nokia McLaren s/b out just before Thanksgiving, but with 3D touch, who knows, could be delayed.
Currently the Lumia 1520 is the best Windows phone offered by AT&T. If the size won't bother you (doesn't bother me, or most, once they have it for a week) go for the Lumia 1520. Advantages are spec'd everywhere, big one is SDcard slot (supports up to 128GB card) & camera w the vibrant 6" screen - don't know about the next iteration.
Will you be able to wait for the next flagship ? You could wind up like that guy ^^^
I upgraded to the 1520 from my 920 in April. I would have preferred something a little smaller than the 1520 but still larger than the 920 but the option wasn't available nor announced and the 1520 was the only AT&T Windows Phone with updated specs. I'm happy with the phone overall. It's a little wide to hold with 1 hand but not too bad.
I evaluated the possibility of something new coming out before the end of the year, which now appears to be McLaren. There is always the possibility that it could be delayed, considering it has some new technology in it. What I did is I went with AT&T Next. It worked out okay because I have the 10 GB data plan that is shared with other devices and as a result I get a $25/month discount on my bill, but I have to make payments on the phone which are around $30 or $31/month I believe and the only thing I had to pay up front was the sales tax which was around $40 or so. So for an extra $5 or $6 a month I have my 1520 and have an opportunity to trade it in 1 year instead of being stuck with it for 2 years. By then we should know more about threshold and the combination of Windows RT and Windows Phone, assuming it isn't yet released, and an upgrade decision can be made at that time whether to go with what would then be the recently released McLaren or wait until the next flagship phone for the new version of the OS.
Get the 1520. Much better (larger) screen, expandable memory and 930 doesn't even have Glance. Once you've had Glance how can you go back to living without it?????

The 1520 and 930 both have quadcore Qualcomm Snapdragon 800 processors clocked at 2.2 GHz and they both have 2GB of RAM.I mean that the 930 has a faster processor than the 1520. That wouldn't matter to me - the 1520 is plenty fast after all - but might be important to some users.

I am on AT&T. I am actually looking for a bigger phone. My 920 is good. It got dropped and the wireless charging stopped working so I have been cabling it anyway for a long time. The SD slot would be nice. better specs all around. Dunno if I can wait for the McLaren...If it doesn't get delayed the wait may be worth it although I haven't researched much into it as of yet.
