C9500 - Stackwise or Not?

We have 2 separate c9500-40x switches running as our core. There is a mixture of L2 and L3 links connecting various other buildings. Core running HSRP and ECMP to link access cabinets in these buildings. We are close to needing another 2 switches as running out of ports. Have read a few things online that people are still having issues with stackwise virtual so not sure if I want to go this route with another 40x switch. If I don't go the Stackwise route I could buy another 9500 and run L2 and L3 links to it and increase port count. Another option could be 9600 chassis pair and future proof. This would be my preferred option but it may come down to ££. Any advice welcome!
