It's kind of like if you owned a '96 Nissan that gets 12 miles to the gallon, leaks a little oil, and has a cassette player built in the dash but still gets you to the Minute Stop. You check your budget and you're in a position to buy a 2019 electric-hybrid Volvo with airbags and the latest safety features. The Volvo is a safer car, better for you and the environment.
Newer technology telescopes can view things that the older observatories can't.
