My advice is dont buy anything, use the Cockpit MM as it is, on 35. Its a fine set. Many glider enthusiasts actually prefer them over modern gear. Theres always a chance you might not take to flying again, so why waste money?
If you've been here on the forum a while, you'll realise there are lots of members whose reaction to slight obsolescence, any problem, any doubt, anything beyond a light arrival, is to throw stuff away - which they justify as risk mitigation. In fact very seldom is that necessary. Fit a new battery (theres no reason on earth why that should cost you £25 as suggested), do a full range check, then stick it in a 'foamy' for a couple of sessions.
You only mentioned the transmitter - presumably you have a few receivers for it. If not, then that expense will influence your decision. But from someone who has done gazillions of conversions, stick with the Cockpit on 35! (All 'in my humble opinion' of course)
Cheers

PS I did a Multiplex Picoline recently for a friend and it was a very straightforward conversion, plenty of room inside for his OrangeRx DIY module. Its a very similar set to yours, conversion to 2.4g is an inexpensive option.
