My kid was interested, I think he's too cheap to actually buy it, but I'm not!

Depending on it's condition I'll either swap Turtle's mods onto it and keep it, or swap the better parts of that one onto Turtle and then sell it. I don't think it's feasible to keep both, but I wouldn't mind upgrading some of Turtle's parts and re-selling it for whatever I pay for it.
Turtle has quite a few miles, but so long as he's not burning oil, I can't see a compelling reason for the switch, other than perhaps getting rid of the downshift grind. Let us know what you decide to do, with pics!
