VPI Scout 2 vs. Luxman PD 441


I'm on the fence about just selling my Luxman PD 441 table as I need to upgrade the tonearm from a Denon DA-307 and that seems to be a $1,000+ proposition.
I would replace it with something from VPI and keep my Grado The Reference high output cartridge.  Maybe a Scout 2 with JMW 9 arm?
My question is whether it is worth it for me to upgrade to a better arm for the Luxman or just ditch the whole thing and get a VPI?
Can I even get any $ for the Luxman to soften the blow?
Thanks for any advice.

Don´t sell your LUXMAN !! Second everything Dave the Messenger says, he has experienced many HQ decks over the years.
Replace the original elastomer feet with Stlllpoints. Also heavy brass feet or even cheap maglev feet will do the trick IME . And as the Genesis man says, a new decent tonearm will bring new life. Trans-Fi Audio´s Terminator linear airbearing TA is the answer to your prayers. You will then have a true giant killer TT.
