Are you looking for general forum banter, or looking to upgrade ?
If the later I would suggest to simply look to history.
The ET2 was put on many turntables when it came out.
As far as VPI is concerned that meant the HW19.
Harry W. at VPI liked the ET2 so much that after going through the HW 19 Mark 1-2-3-4 versions; his all new TNT was designed around this ET2.

Above linked Picture is credit from the "Indecent Proposal" movie.
These are facts, and the facts would suggest that your ET2 outclasses your current HW19.
So if you are looking for a turntable versus tonearm upgrade - turntable.
I will also add your insight, experience and familiarity with the ET2 puts you at a big advantage over others here who have never owned this unique tonearm.
Good Luck
