My question to you is,

Do you like the idea of having a matress style aerial radar that see's all around your uboat, of having heavy flak , and a little bit more of a maximum crush depth?

i would save for the IX too, only prob with the IX is that you cant reall attack in the shallows i.e in ports like scapa there just isnt enough depth and the IX is a big boat and slow to dive

Save for the IX and you will not be sorry. Plus, all the chick in port will dig you

I prefer to be a thinking being rather than a machine that killes everything around it but the cook.
And I think Doenitz prefers that too.

That's the spirit.

And with a IX Boat you can sink more of them.
