430 SMs will keep you from going past 450i at the AP end, starting with 450m. The path up to 450i is pretty solid, obviously single pol though. If you are OK upgrading the higher plan subs to 450 SMs and keeping the lower plan subs on 430, this might be OK.
100 FSK gear, wow, that’s like an anchor around your neck these days. You’d be buying customers, but unless you can charge for the network upgrade, they are going to be expensive customers. With customers thinking 10M is their birthright, how many subs can you put on a 100 series AP?

Lots of 100 fsk gear and some 430. 430 gear is getting cheap and will pretty much do the job. A move to 450 can reuse the 430 sm radios. But the price on the epmp1000 is not too bad. Thinking about it. Probably will not do anything. Would I be better off just diving into the epmp? It is a bit of a noisy environment and it seems like the 430 stuff does OK. I think you cannot go wrong with 450, but for the money is the 1000 better? Is buying 430s a waste of money on a 450 system?
