I have gen 1 base stations from my vive, they've been working fine for years ever since the vive released.
I went for the pimax 8kx instead of the index this time since it seems more suitable for flight simulators.
The hardware will catch up with it eventually.

Pi tool is apparently dogshit but it has been slowly improving and I don't mind tweaking settings. They should include a preset system based on application so your settings are automatically loaded when you start a game.
4K per eye is a good starting point, the vive's ppi was too low for many applications such as virtual desktop use and seeing fine details in-game.
