Is the M50 to M50mk2 upgrade worth it

Hi guys

I have an M50 and M50 mk2 already and I must say I am impressed by the software updates done in Mk2 in the areas of focusing speed, single-point focus point etc to the point that I am not really using the M50 any more always preferring the Mk2 when I get to choose ONE camera. The main reason I have 2 is for when I shoot the occasional event, wedding, christening etc.

Someone offered me €500 for my mint M50 plus good copy of 15-45. The price for the equivalent M50mk2 kit is €800 in this part of the world. Do I:

a) Politely decline
b) Sell and buy M50mk2 kit for €300 extra
c) Sell and just buy a used 15-45 to replace the only 15-45 that I have, and just buy M50mk2 body if and when I need it
d) Sell and wait for developments on the RF-S front before making any more purchases

I currently own: Canon EF-M: 11-22, 22(just sold it as I don't use it), 15-45, 55-200, Sigma EF-M 30/1.4, 56/1.4 plus M50 and M50 MkII bodies

I know that at the end of the day it's gonna be my decision but seeing if anyone has something to share that might sway my decision.
