New to the forums and stick building!

hello everybody, my first time ever posting so please forgive me if this is in the wrong section. Based off of other posts that I have seen this seems like the right place to be. I Just recently starting getting into fighting games when Injustice came out, and have been playing a lot of MKX for Xbox one. I use a Qanba Q4 stick with a CronusMAX adapter, and I am starting to really wear this thing out. Its time for an upgrade but I am at a standstill. I want to know if from anybody if you think that I should...

A. start out by modding the stick i currently have, replacing the stick, buttons, and art... gaining my experience that way...

or...

B. start out building one from the ground up, that way if there is a unforeseen problem I will still have my Qanba to fall back on...

I am stuck with this decision before I dive into my first project and any suggestions and opinions are appreciated. Thanks for looking...
