As I plan on upgrading, I clearly think it can be bettered, but for considerably more money. With that in mind, and the fact that Dave is already a bit old and does require some improvements, I wouldn't buy one new. I'd use the savings from buying a used one to improve the areas where it does need improving, or I'd audition better (sadly more expensive ) alternatives. As biased as that may sound from a guy currently selling his Dave.
Being 6 year older than TT2 and HMS, that was the main niggle I had regarding buying a new dave. At 10k there is not a chance of me buying it, as previously it was 8500 when it was 6 years old, now its 10k and its now 7 or 8 years old. I just wished I could of demoed one before buying my TT2, ( which btw is excellent for my needs ) but I live in the sticks and the nearest approved dave retailer is like 120 miles away from me.
I suppose my best bet is to sell either tt2 on its own or tt2 and hms together on ebay and try and pick up a second hand one. I did that with my Hugo 2 and both sides walked away happy from that deal, but then I got scalped on ebay before xmas for a sealed nvidia 3070ti.
