Would you rather upgrade (2) Anycubic Vyper (new hotend, extruder, etc) or buy a new printer?

Thanks for the great info! I have a bunch of questions -

So the Klicky Switch is the probe? I see there is a Clicky Clack door kit. Don't want to confuse them.

Also, the belt tension gauge. I see some one Amazon, is any one good enough. They seem to be about $30

I don't see anything about a extension rails for a flying gantry. I do see LDO rails, but when I pick that option it tells me "Includes 6 MGN9 rails and 1 MGN12 (recommended) - Option to choose 8x MGN9s."

Are these kits CoreXY and self leveling?

Also the kit has options for the controller board and display, which is Octopus and Mini123864 (matched w/brand of board). That means I don't need to order a Raspberry PI?

I was thinking about upgrading the extruder to an Orbiter 2.5, and the hotend to a Mosquito Magnum, heater to Slice 50w, Thermistor cartridge to Slice PT1000.

I know you said the default setup is perfectly fine, but I've been eyeing the Slice products for a while now. I'm willing to pay the extra money and go above the $1500 to have them. Do you find this overkill?
