need advice!

so i have been out of scootering for about 4 months as i dislocated my shoulder 10 times so it is messed up. i am going to have an operation but dont know when. i started riding a again on my street taking it easy a few days ago and this morning my jd bug deck (yes a razor pro equivalent) snapped on me. I actually have another footplate (bit with the foldy on) so i will put that on for now but am thinking of getting a new setup. I dont think strength will be too much of an issue as with my shoulder i have to take it easy anyway. what do you guys reccomend. also is there any major scooter news i have missed, i have been out of the loop for a while.

anyway my current setup is:
ethic grips (blue)
mr h bars 24 h in scs and 20 w, this is a little too short.
crisp 5 bolt scs (it actually works fine)
tilt nimbus forks
cane creek tank II headset
crisp 110mm wheels, these ones aren't dehubbing but are a little heavy
jd bug deck and brake

do you think i should just buy a completley new scooter as the parts are outdated except for the fork and grips really, if so what do you recommend. i want a really nice performance/feel with the right dimensions. probably 26 high bars and 19-22 wide. i think i want a fairly light scooter. from my current setup you can obviously see that i have not been a weight freak by any means, it is just that i want as little stress on my shoulder as possible (doing tricks I can feel it move around), i cannot do any sort of scooter fliping trick as it will just dislocate my shoulder. cost is definatley a factor as i do not want to spend too much, i am thinking of possibly buying a complete as the value for money is normally much better.
I am around 6ft tall btw.

Not worth buying a full complete, just a deck would be fine like a district dk2, for bigger bars a cooper klaars would be good. The wheels, headset and fork don't need changing because if they work, they're fine.

i had a district dk2 before and it snapped, i would probably like to try something new but it is a solid deck.
i know this sounds really stupid but i am considering getting the newest ultra pro as i can pick it up for £50 new and would like just to try it out. the deck is 19,9 x 4.25 which is maybe a little small but it would be interesting to try. it also has threadless forks and some weird compression. i probably wont buy it as it is too small overall and it wont be the best quality but it is still interesting. also if i got a new deck i would need a new headset as my integrated headset is broken. also coooper klaar bars arent that cheap and are now not us made but thanks for the advice. responses are appreciated so thank you
