That is a very difficult question to answer without some additional information. 
Do you like your current driver?
Is the head in good shape?
How/why did the shaft break?
Were you fit for your current driver? Does it still fit you?

Over all I'm a fan of shiny things, so I always like new clubs.

Having said that, you can normally get replacement shafts for drivers relatively inexpensively on ebay these days. 

My bag is an ever-changing combination of clubs. 

A mix I am forever tinkering with.

Yes

Yes

How/why did the shaft break?

I have no idea why it broke.  It broke at the handle, was a clean strike and everything,.

Were you fit for your current driver? Does it still fit you?

I got a static fitting, not dynamic. Don't know, but worth investigating

I would never dissuade somebody from buying a new "shiny thing". But if it were me, I'd probably replace the shaft. I'm assuming your driver has an adjustable neck. Which means the shaft is likely out there on Ebay someplace.

      Day 24 (4 Dec 25) - Spent about an hour working with the new 55° wedge in the backyard.  Kept all shots to under 20yds.  Big focus - not decelerating thru downswing and keeping speed up with abbreviated backswing.  Nothing like hitting a low flighted chip with plenty of check spin and then purpose to float a pitch of similar distance.

      Day 114 12-4 Put some work in on backswing, moving the hips correctly, then feeling over to lead side. Didn't hit any balls was just focused on keeping flowy and moving better. I'll probably do another session tonight and add in some foam balls.

      Didn't say anything about your understanding in my post.  Well, if you are not insisting on alignment with logic of the WHS, then no.  Try me/us. What do you want from us then?? You are not making sense. You come here and post in an open forum, question a system that is constructed with logic, without using any of your own and then give us a small window of your personal experience to support your narrative which at first sight does not makes sense.  I mean, if you are a point of swearing then I would suggest you cut your losses and humor a more gullible audience elsewhere. Good heavens.
