Topic: Tim to upgrade hot end?

I had a bit of a problem with my nozzle today. I was upgrading to Lawsy's extruder design but broke my nozzle:

I can get the new barel and nozzle for $15 here:

But I'm wondering, while I have everything apart is this is a good time to upgrade? This thread looked interesting but there have been no updates in a while:

Nice, but expensive. Is anyone using it?

I had no idea how much nicer things would be with an E3D! It is well worth the money. One thing to keep in mind is that it is best to use an upgraded power supply with it.
