VPI SCOUTMASTER UPGRADE TO ?

I currently have a VPI Scoutmaster and considering an upgrade. To go to the Super Scoutmaster which includes to the best of my knowledge the following: 1. HRX motor assembly, 2. Outer ring and inner clamp 3. SDS controller
Also I would consider the new JMW-9 signature Arm. The total cost of the above would be about $6000.00, about $3500.00 out of pocket to upgrade. Would I be better off
selling my Scoutmaster, take a loss and purchase something
else? Any thoughts would be appreciated.

I spoke w. someone intimitaly familiar w. the HRX & the Super Scout Master. He mentioned that Super Scout Master was in fact the better sounding unit. He also mentioned that he was not alone in that opinion. They mentioned that the Superscoutmaster left the life in the music.
