VPI Classic 3 Upgrades or Move On to Something New


I'm the 2nd owner of a VPI Classic 3, bought here on Audiogon in 2014.  Cartridge is Soundsmith VPI Zephyr.  Considering giving it some new life with a JMW 10-3D Unipivot Tonearm, Signature Feet, and ADS Speed Controller.  Total upgrade cost - $3,950.  

Or...should I go in a new direction and give another turntable a try?  I have no complaints about my current setup, but don't have a frame of reference for what I might be missing out on. 

Budget for a new turntable/cartridge combo is anywhere from $5,000-$10,000. Thoughts?

i have a tnt/sama/flywheel/sds. i'm recently having speed fluctuations- as noticed first aurally and then as measured by my kab strobe disc/light. i'm assuming it's the sds so i'm looking at vpi ads. has anyone compared the two? i seem to remember when the ads came out it was not particularly well recieved.
