You should be able to find a decent rr track bike for 3-4k. You'll be able to have 2 bikes to track and play around with. Eventually you'll sell and you should be able to get most of the original purchase price back out of a track bike as the 03-06 bikes have depreciated about as much as they are going to.
You could keep your eyes peeled for a set of BST rims for the 2-2.5k mark, but you could be waiting for a while. You'll end up taking a 1-1.5k bath on these if bought new.
Putting more parts on the RC is always nice, but is it as nice as being able to switch between that and another bike? If one is down the other should be ready to go. The RC is a fun bike as it is and unless you are going more for show there isn't a whole lot i'd be putting in it for the sake of improving performance. I think the enjoyment return on dollars spent it makes more sense to go with an rr.
