Infant Optics baby monitor... upgrade or no?

Looking for input from folks with the DXR-8 Pro monitor that use it in two rooms

Not sure if it would actually be an upgrade, but I have the Infant Optics DRX-8 Pro monitor and I like it very much. Now that I'm pregnant with my second kid, I looked into what the second camera option looks like. I see now that Infant Optics sells the DRX-8 Pro SS (split screen) which I love the idea of - seeing both kids on one screen. Seems like the current options with our monitor is to either manually switch between cameras or have the scan option on. So if the camera is scanning the older kid's room for 10 seconds, I might miss baby beginning to cry? I also wonder with the split screen option for cameras in two different rooms, how the audio works...

Maybe I should call infant options customer service to ask my questions lol but since it's a popular monitor system maybe someone here has some input. Cost effective option is to just keep what we have and get a second camera rather than the split screen system... But maybe the SS is worth it?? Appreciate any input!
