If you like working ex-circuit (plugging your chips back and forth) the
upgrade would be a good idea. If you prefer ICSP I would consider and
ICD2 clone (or, if you can afford it, the real thing). If you know now
which PICs you will be using there are programmers that support less
chips than an ICD2 but are a lot cheaper, like pickit2, Wisp628,
EasyProg, DIY150, etc. Of one of these fits your needs it might be a
cheaper alternative.
