I'm looking for opinions on whether to upgrade and have a sharp, but
old plane... or should I just wait a couple more years and purchase a
newer plane that would meet my requirement and would potentially be
faster?

Yep it's the same with airplanes.

If you're talking about economics, it's almost universally easier to find a plane
that's already configured the way you want it and buy that than to do the mods
yourself. Avionics and other aircraft mods have a high initial depreciation.

If you want to make sure you get it right, and you're airframe is reasonably
good, modding yours will give you more control and perhaps a better finished
product at a higher cost.

Finally, if you could find a J or later model, it will be faster.
