sbooster upgrade for Lumin D2 worth it?

Guys is this a good upgrade?

I only paid $1600 CAD used for the Lumin and Sbooster upgrade is around $800 CAD

Is it possible to add an external power supply ? if so , there is one here for 350$ on Canuck Audio Mart https://www.canuckaudiomart.com/details/649888194-botw-s-booster-mkii-with-ultra-dongle-18v-19v/
