Fixed gear upgrade or not dilemma...

I have a size 43 2013 SE Lager street bike that I got from Performance Bicycles for a smoking deal a couple of years ago. I've come to really enjoy riding it even though I've made several handlebar changes. The wheelset that came with the bike is very heavy and not my favourite part of the bike although I clock great mph during the times I ride the bike. I use it more as a fun, non-training bicycle. My dilemma is, should I upgrade the wheelset to spend $250 (on a Wabi 650c wheelset) which is more than I paid for the bike or should I look at getting a newer more solidly branded fixed gear with better components/wheels and maybe a steel frame but that I'll have to get used to again... I was fortunate with my road bike purchase as I was in bike love at first ride. ​​​​​​​
