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 just grabbed recently a Jelco SA-750L that's the 12" version  for my Garrard 301  they run from $600ish to $800 for a 9",10".12" arm i think the 9" is about $600 US.  I'm very impressed with the build quality and value. Way better then a moded Rega RB600 it replaced.
I was looking at the Luxman PD 441 manual and they list a bunch of tonearms in the same category as the current Denon DA 307.  The Fidelity Research mentioned is a 54 not a 64.  Those seem to be pretty reasonably priced out there.  Anyone think that is a bad way to go?
Late to this party as I just picked up a Luxman PD-441 with no tonearm.  I put a Fidelity Research FR-54 on it and it sounds wonderful.  I also have a Fideleity Research FR-24 that I am going to try out.  I have had both arms on different tables and I think that the FR-54 is easier to dial in  and use but the FR-24 was a bit more dynamic sound wise.  Both are affordable, but going up in price all the time.  The FR-64's are typically for a heavier cart.  I think that both the FR-24 and FR-54 are great arms that remain bargains even though the prices are going up on each of them
This site is great for all Luxman owners, this is the only souce for Luxman armboards (for all tonearms). Very nice replicas for reasonable price. 

@carrden99 there are many vintage tonearms for lighweight (mid and high compliance) cartridges, in this competition those FR arms are the ousiders, but the FR-64 is extremely popular for low compliance cartridges. The most expensive is FR-66. I hope someone can comment on FR-64FX (black) which is normally cheaper than FR-64 and FR64S 

Long dead thread, but here it goes...I'm a picker and just picked up a 441 with RF 64s on it, an RF MC 201 cartridge mounted. I have to take a a bit closer look on condition when it gets here, but it looks quite nice...whoever was the original owner loved this thing. I have a Garrard 301/SME 3012-R Pro and a TNT3.5/Graham 2.0 (that I'm going to sell...) so looking forward to adding this. Paid $1400 for TT/arm combo...can't go much wrong there, I would think. It looks like fun. That said, always thought the Lux pd-444 was just about the coolest MCM thing ever. Sell the 441, pick up a 444 & mate it with the FR 64S, or just stand pat, enjoy the ride?
