Is there life after the K8200?

Is there life after K8200?
I built my K8200 more than 3 years ago and have been absolutely happy with it.
I’ve modified almost everything possible including Christians vertical z axis modification.
Everything that could be changed has been changed.
Which comes to my original question - what is my next printer?
Which printer is significantly better than my old K8200?
I prefer a kit but am happy to buy readybuilt.
I like the Prusa i3 MK2S 3D but it seems to mirror the K8200’s performance and price point.
Do I buy new or secondhand?
I would appreciate some guidance on this matter.
And, a smaller problem, what do I do with my K8200?

You may want to look at the K8400.
It is faster then the K8200 nozzle size is 0.35mm instead of 0.5mm
Out of the box it comes with 1 print head with an option of adding a second print head.
Like the K8200 or any other kit out there you have to tune it in but after that it’s a very nice machine.
Links for you to look at.

Can’t wait to see whats coming up next.
My only criteria is that it must be significantly better than my old K8200.
It has been a great learning tool well supported by this community and I’ve spent countless hours tinkering with it.
Thanks Wrong_Way for your suggestion about the K8400.
I’ll think that I’ll wait and see what Velleman has in the pipeline.
