My question as an amateur is how much better can the tone, volume and
control get after a redo. I have been happy with out of the box, eg Marine
Bands.

Is the question beginner or amateur? If it is for a beginner, I would
recommend against a customized harp.
A customized harmonica is much more responsive, therefore much more
susceptible to reed damage. A common problem for beginners is playing with
too force. Better to ruin a $25 harp.
