Airfare NYC-Paris end of August/Early September

Hi, my husband and I are planning a big trip to Paris at the end of August/early September. We've been tracking airfare and saw a round-trip direct Air France flight for $664 for our dates (August 23rd-September 5th)
This seems like a fair price, so we're wondering if we should buy now even though it's 8 months away, or wait and see if the price goes down more. The price has dropped by almost $100 in the past week.
Disclaimer: our dates are not flexible, and for luggage reasons we don't want to fly a budget airline (French Bee, Norse Atlantic Airways etc)

Thank you!

My philosophy on plane fares is that if you see something at a decent price and your dates aren't flexible, buy it. And then stop looking at prices. At that price, if prices go down it will not be by a lot, but they can stand to go up significantly. So even if you end up paying just a bit more than what ends up to be the lowest price, does it matter?
