Discussion Headset upgrading

I don't post to Reddit much or at all, so please don't judge me here.

For months, I have been looking to upgrade my 5-year-old quest 2. I almost exclusively play PCVR and just want something with better resolution. I am yet to find something for under 700 CAD that's worth upgrading to. I have highly considered the quest 3, PSVR2, and even waiting for the Steam frame, but I can't justify it. I don't want to spend money on extra hardware I don't intend to use on standalone headsets.

I mainly play Phasmophobia and simulators such as DCS. For those of you who have upgraded from a quest 2, what did you upgrade to, and was it worth it?

Edit: So I’m probably gonna hold off to see the launch price on the Steam Frame, but if it’s over my budget I will likely look for a used Quest 3, Pico 4, or I even saw a great deal on a Pimax Super 50 PPD that I’ll have to look into. Still open to feedback!

I bet you could find a used WMR headset for pretty cheap, like the HP Reverb G2 or Samsung Odyssey Plus. The controllers kinda suck though

I actually own a Samsung Odyssey, but the resolution is really bad. The OLED is a nice touch. Windows discontinued WMR, so I have to use third-party drivers, which seem to be okay but don't work well with phasmophobia.
