thanks in advance for all your help.
IMO, there’s not enough difference to be worth doing that change solely for the purpose of upgrading. 3x8 should let you find a cassette that gives you a useful range/ratio combo w/o further upgrades.
However, if things are worn, it’s not entirely financially stupid to replace-with-better.
I’m not sure I’d want to go to 3x10 though.
10-speed stuff wear out noticeably faster.
I’d stay at 3x9 or possibly 2x10. For my riding, those give me the range/ratio mix I’m happy with.
