The most direct answer is to buy the best boat your budget can afford. So yes, buy the hypalon.
I had a similar experience, older boat, wanting newer/better and wanted to keep my frame. I purchased my newer boat based on my current frame size, and I regret that. Had I spent more time figuring out what I really wanted, I would have a boat that really does what I need it to do.
