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.

      "5 Minutes Daily" Practice Challenge

      By saevel25 ·

      Day 2 March 13th, 2025 Hit a small bucket checking stuff on video. Mostly back to controlling swing length and right elbow.

      My Swing (saevel25)

      By saevel25 ·

      Video 1 of 2025 Lower body is better. Right knee kicks out less. Left knee straightens better. I don’t have that knee bounce post impact. Backswing and downswing with the arms, needs a bit of work. Nice OTT move there. Video 2 of 2025 - hey I can keep it short.  back to trying to keep the swing shorter and control the right elbow. Lots of half backswing feel and very straight arms. Also trying to start the downswing sooner so the swing doesn’t go on forever with the turn. Got to limit it to 90 degrees shoulder and 45 degrees hips.

      Day 164 - 2025-03-13 Got the new QuadMAX. Didn't get a chance to test it, but got to Golf Evolution about 45 minutes before lessons, so I did some backswing and downswing work in.

      Would You Rather…?

      @klineka has already addressed this stuff, but as I said in my first answer… distance control is typically more important. Knowing exactly how far a ball will carry is huge.
