Now, the 14 LED is available for about the same price. So when I figure in the cost of the original light, plus the $60 and now another $60, I have a couple of questions: should I even upgrade and would I better off just buying a new Duo and the 14 LEDs instead of buying just the LED module and putting it in my old Duo?
I would suggest that if your old Duo body is in good working condition, with years of life left in it, there's probably no point in paying more to buy a whole new Duo. Just get the upgrade.
Unless... you buy a whole new one, and choose to either keep the old one as a spare - or sell it on eBay (like I did with a couple of my spares).
