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.

I agree. I sold my Luxman PD 444 because I didn't think I needed two arms. I have regretted it since. I would replace the Denon arm. So, to answer your last question, I believe that you could sell the PD 441 to recoup some of the cost of an upgrade. I, for one, would have an interest.
