Would you rather upgrade (2) Anycubic Vyper (new hotend, extruder, etc) or buy a new printer?

I mean I would need to know what the problems were with my printer. When I had an Ender3 v1 and I was debating upgrade or switching. I went with switching since the machine had fundamental issues which couldn’t be fixed or the solution was not guaranteed to fix it.
