MP3DP V4 Build - SW Virginia

Question for all of you that built the V5. Did you upgrade your V4 or build a new V5?

I am having a quandry about this. I have two Hypercube CoreXY machines, a modified Ender3, a FLSun-SR and my V4. Neither of the Hypercubes gets used these days and the Ender is relegated to the basement also.

The Ender has Dual Belt Drive (KevinAKASam) and new Manta control boards with CB1 and prints like a champ.
The original Hypercube is running Marlin with Octoprint and honeslty has not been turned on in years.
The Bigger Hypercube has a Manta M4p and CB1 in it with a H2 on it.

My Options:
Tear down the V4 and convert it to a V5 using the Manta M8P in it so I have the extra drivers to run my Trad Rack.

Tear down the Hypercubes and move the M4P to the Ender3. Use the Manta E3EZ with the 5 drivers to run a New V5 (Can bus on the tool head so that handles the 6th driver. I think I can use the SKR board on the original Hypercube to run the Tradrack Via USB… maybe. or just get the BTT board and move forward.

I seem to remember someone doing a partial upgrade but I can tseem to find it.
