I do the same. The DBX makes me stop about every 12 jumps. I never stop in any other ship I explore in. They scoop fast enough to where it's not needed.

Oh, maybe mine is more jumps as well...
Even with a more effective scoop I usually hit the brakes a moment to check the FSS signal count and variety shrug. I was sure my diamondback was the most boring ship in my fleet, more boring than the adder (which I took for a revival landmine recovery mission this morning!). It grew on me over time. Personally, my singular primary complaint of the Diamondback at this stage of my newb perception, is the single seat.
As to the more pressing topic of what we're REALLY up to, I strolled up to the frontlines desk of hard knocks the past couple of days and made a couple of mercenary ranks up.
In fact I took the Adder out this morning to finally slap a coat of yellow paint on it to match its contemporaries (Millenium Dolphin used yellow matching the original Sidewinder and the taxi paint job on the dolphin). But what I mean to say is, I was doing that to take a screenshot and make it look so fine in the Inara fleet page, much nicer than the built-in shipyard list with default paint jobs (I did put that in the suggestions thread, show correct paint jobs). So cool!!

Hey, not so fast there Jared!

So what am I missing? I have the materials, I'm at a Tech Broker and there is no V1 FSD listed at all in his list. There's only the Guardian stuff.
"Human Tech Broker" not Guardian...
You went to the wrong tech broker. You went to a Guardian Tech Broker when you need to find a Human Tech Broker.
I will admit to turning up at the wrong tech broker myself a couple of times....
I didn't even realize there were different kinds. I figured a tech broker is a tech broker.
At any rate, all's well that ends well. The old Phantom is up to 71 LY jump range now.

Based on your earlier link for your ship you got to the 71ly mark by adding mass manager effect too
The only "regular" engineered class 5 FSD I use is in Colonia in a Python that only needs to travel up to 90ly per trip as that's the size of the Colonia mini bubble of inhabited systems. Massive jump ranges don't matter to do business in that area.
Agreed, that's the best way with such a tiny Fuel Scoop, if many bodies to identify, accelerate until max scooping, then reduce speed and scan bodies as required if undiscovered.
If no bodies to scan after first honk or all are already discovered (with Cmdr names), I am not interested and jump immediately to next star without scooping at all (you can do almost infinite jumps at 'most economic' jump as I do just a complete 50LY sphere around my FC.
If they are mostly discovered already, simply move FC on.
I found these Jawbreaker plants on a planet around an L class Brown Dwarf, kind of surprising considering I've only found bacterial matts around Brown Dwarfs.
My favorite thing about Colonia: Jail is only one jump away...Based on your earlier link for your ship you got to the 71ly mark by adding mass manager effect too

1.84 Kilometers straight up and you weren't even trying, bravissimo! 
Ii think I might try backing around a boulder field at high speed, looks fun.

I screwed that one up, I as laughing so hard about your trapeze act, I forgot to insert the quote.

Be wary, all the other times I've done that, intentional or not, I ended up back on my ship without an SRV.1.84 Kilometers straight up and you weren't even trying, bravissimo!
Well... Well, Quain is a good boy and knows nothing of jail
He knows where the nearest IF is though....
