To Nest or Not To Nest ... Thermostat

Hey everyone - we're in the process of doing our first rehab in Montgomery county, Maryland and God-willing it looks like it will be a nice profitable venture.

Right now we're redoing a kitchen and updating a ton, but what I was curious was regarding the thermostat.  Its an old thermostat and we will have to replace it anyways, but I'm a big fan of Google's Nest thermostat and I was thinking it would be a nice addition to make the house a bit "trendier" versus just a standard thermostat.  The drawback is its $150 bucks and I don't want to turn-off a potential buyer that is not "techie".

I know its a minor detail, but what do you guys think - to Nest or not to Nest?

PS - Its a house with an ARV of 450-525k, so that's the price range we're in.
