Mxr Reverb or Holy Grail?

So, I want to get myself a reverb pedal, yet I havent decided between the EHX Holy Grail and the MXR Reverb. I know on the last tour John used two MXRs, one always-on and one for longer, dedicated reverbs, while during the SA era he was a prominent Holy Grail user.

Now Im mot sure which one to get, since I wont buy two reverbs, I definitely wont do his double MXR strategy, but if he moved on from the Holy Grail there must also be a reason.

Yeah of course „depending on what you wanna play/which era you want to come close to“ but I wanna be universal, play his new songs but also be capable of his iconic fat 2006-07 sound.

What would you suggest?

Thoughts and suggestions on my Frusciante inspired board

Signal chain right now:

strat -> ds-2 -> big muff π -> mxr micro amp -> mxr phase 90 -> ibanez wh10v3 -> zoom G1on -> WA-C1 -[stereo]> Looper -> Amp

The zoom „frusciante patch“ currently holds a noise reduction, lowpass filter, flanger, reverb, eq.

I plan on getting a holy grail and an mxr dyna comp and maybe a Behringer MF-102 ripoff in the near future.

What other things regarding pedal choice/ signal chain could I change to get closer to Frusciantes sound?
