If one came across a Tribute Edition, can we have it upgraded to a Stage II and still keep the wooden panels?
Im tempted to get an LP to replace my Micro until I can afford the Voyager…just throwing ideas around?

No. To upgrade to Stage II you have to replace the wooden panels.
Just kidding …
There has been some talk about upgrade kits, but it’s not cleare how that would be arranged. You have to change some hardware to get the same capacity on a TE as on a SEII.
There are some old threads about the subject. Scan the forum.
I think this is correct
from what i can see the USB upgrade isnt available for the TE tho the other functions can be done with a memory and OS upgrade.
On the other hand, that’s a minor problem. You can always use a midi-usb adapter. Works perfectly for me …
I am considering selling mine, if you are really interested.
There are always a few TE LP’s available on ebay at any given time, unless your a collector or find a good deal, with all the improvements and upgrades, the LP SE II would appear be the best bet for your $$, plus you don’t have to wait or have to ship your synth back to Moog to get any hardware upgrades installed. Whatever you choose i’m sure you’ll enjoy !
I recently sold my TE in order to save towards a Voyager. The Phatty is a great synth in it’s own right but it’s definitely not a substitute for the Voyager (nor was it intended to be).
My advice would be to continue to save up for the Voyager if that’s the synth you really want.
My 2 cents.
