Replace existing drives with higher capacity drives or new NAS? (old.reddit.com)

I have a Synology DS1019+ with 5x8T drives. I am running out of free space. My compute and storage are separate (except for Plex), and I would like to keep it that way. I don't use any of the Synology apps/features, so a dumb storage would do. Looking at 2 options

Replace existing drives with 5x20T. This should last me for a few years.
Get UNAS Pro with 3x20T to start with and add additional drives later (as budget permits). More models are coming sometime this year, so I might lose out on those.

Which one is better? I did look at UGreen, but it's more expensive (with power I don't need).
