Honestly, why change system? Just get a new frontwing from Gong (Like the Curve H). In the Fiberglas version these are very affordable even new. The Curve H will be a huge upgrade from your X-over and keep you happy for a long while and assist you in learning new skills (consistent jibes, tacks, different jibe variants, ...).
At your current level the upgrade from a beginner to a progression Foil will be much more noticeable than the slight performance gain from a slightly more efficient foil system.
I'm on the Gong V3 Carbon stuff (mostly Veloce H / HDW) and absolutely love my gear even as an advanced rider.
interesting practical and economical solution

Still love the MA850v2 from North. But its sad that nothing new is coming to their foil system. HM mast is also really nice. Here in Bonaire i saw the new foils of Armstrong, and they look really nice. Only thing that is steering me away from it, is that you have to screw the whole foil apart all the time. With north its just 2 bolts (like the new F one Titan system) and youll leave the foil intact.
I could buy a used CF carbon mast with MAV2 1500 for light winds of 8-10 knots
and MAV2 1050 for 12-20 knots

I'd look at the Kraken Balz 909 combo. I'm quite a lot heavier than you but I find it a very easy foil, well built (especially compared to Gong) and if you want their new monolith lowers fit on that mast.
thanks for the advice
