Is it worth it to get another pair of evo sl’s for me?

When I was a beginner at running and didn’t know much about running form how to strike properly… I bought a pair of evo sl’s ran on trails and road and put about 35-40 miles running hard and aggressive not really running efficiently if that makes sense and they look like this, and I can tell the cushion isn’t as bouncy anymore and don’t want to risk injury running in them.

I really liked the shoe and want to get another pair specifically the evo sl exo but don’t know if I should get another daily trainer like the nb rebel v5 instead.
After learning how to run better and more efficient I put way more milage on my brooks ghost 17 and nb 1080v14 and they are fine.

Do you guys think it’s worth it to get another pair and they won’t end up like my current, get the rebel v5, or run in my current evo sl’s again maybe because Ik running shoes have a milage of 250-600 depending on the shoe?

I always liked the vaporfly 4s and tried them on and loved the snappy feel but didn’t get a pair till a year later(just now bc they were on sale). Just bought a pair for speed work and run a half marathon and potentially run a full marathon but I’ve heard mixed reviews about them for a full marathon. What are your guys thoughts on the shoes in general and on running a marathon in them? Also if you think running them in a marathon would be bad do you guys have any recommendations? And tried on the alpha fly 3s, not a big fan.

I’m 6’1 170lb and had to take a break from running due to health reasons but I’m good now. When I was training with little to no knowledge for a half marathon these were my PRs for different distances
5k- 22:22
10k-56:23
15k- 1:22:24
10 mile- 1:29:04
21k- 2:20:39 (ran this in poor conditions and think I could have done better)

Thank you for your input!
