Does anyone have an opinion about having prostate surgery with a young surgeon using a DaVinci machine vs. an old school surgeon with lots of experience but known for opening the patient up from front to back?

This is probably not the right place to discuss this but I am making myself physically ill researching on the internet while I wait for my appointment.
I just turned 55 and had blood work done as part of my routine physical. Everything was great except my PSA (my first ever) was 17.5. My doc put me on antibiotics for 2 weeks and retested. The results just came back and my PSA is 21.8! He said I need to see a specialist. I have been researching this and realize that this number is not good. I have absolutely no symptoms and feel fine except for the urge to puke when I read about this issue.
Do I go old school or do I go with the new technology? Does the new machine give tactile feedback to the surgeon? Does accurate robot surgery outweigh the advantage of hand feel? Does the use of new technology balance out the fact that the surgeon has not done hundreds of surgeries?
Is this situation as bad as I think it is?...
