Do you think this is a good idea? {Product Upgrades!} (Patreon)

Hey there everyone! Seikyuu here! Thanks to all of your support, I've been thinking about what the next purchase should be for the channel. As in, I've been wondering what kind of upgrade we should get to make things even better! I know I tag my stuff as ASMR even though what I really create are Drama CDs but I've noticed that this kind of microphone is popular among ASMRtists.
Option 1: Dummy Head BE-P1+ Scarlett 2i2
https://binauralenthusiast.com/product/b1-e-dummy-head-with-be-p1-binaural-microphones-xlr-adapter/ ($694)
Pros:
Super ASMR
Using the Dummy Head, I can buy a wig to put on top of it and simulate a character actually speaking into the listener's ears, brush hair, etc.
Perhaps it would bring in more of an audience? Giving the whole ASMR tingles.
Can use props for more natural and diverse sound effects.
Cons:
High Price
They say it's quite sensitive. It might pick up background noise, and living next to a highway, that might be bad unless I did a character who lives in a city setting.

Option 2: 3dio XLR + Scarlet 2i2)
https://3diosound.com/products/free-space-xlr-binaural-microphone ($799)
Different from the Dummy Head, the 3dio XLR is a much more popular brand. Most ASMRtists use this microphone for the tingles and stuff.
Pros:
Basically the dummy head, but, just the ears.
It's uhh more known of a brand?
A bit more easy to store.
Cons:
Higher Price
They say it's quite sensitive. It might pick up background noise, and living next to a highway, that might be bad unless I did a character who lives in a city setting.
No head shape so no wig + brush brush.

(either one would also need one of these to make the audio connect to my computer)

Um, so basically, what I'm asking is for your advice and perspectives. Do you think it's a good idea to spend (ALOT) of money on this? Would it even be an upgrade?

Another thing I've been looking at is a standard microphone upgrade with this:
Basically an upgraded mono microphone. It has lower background noise and improved audio depth and quality. (I'm already using a mono output)
Aaaaa my head is hurting from all the thinking and balancing
Please help me out here, team XD
