It's considerably easier to do both at the same time. If you decided to
do the PID later, you'd have to temporarily remove the rotary pump to
put the solid-state relay in underneath it.
The promise of the PID is more accurate temp control than the
thermostat-type controller which can have temperature swings of a few
degrees. How that translates to better shots is kinda subjective.

What are the benefits of upgrading to the newer PID controller?
I’ve had this Brewtus since 2005, she has been pulling 6 to 10 shots a
day, every day without fail. I feed her good water and do a regular
cleaning, replacing seals when they get brittle. I see a lot on this
list with little niggles and some with complete failures. I do not
know why mine hasn’t had any. (knocking on wood as I type this)
I recently decided to order the rotary pump upgrade kit and I’m
wondering if should do the controller upgrade as well. I do not want
to fix what isn’t broken but maybe I am missing some sort of
(more)awesome brewing experience. Or maybe I should have the parts on
hand just in case?
