Six of one, half-dozen of the other, Eugene. Ten years ago scarcity would
have perhaps driven more folks to keep something based on perceived value.
More and more of them are realizing that we are pretty much it - we're the
audience for this old gear. Just go up to any kid on the street and ask
them what a AM/FM receiver is, if they listen to the radio, etc. 'Radio' to
the coming generations means internet radio.

While there will likely still be demand for the handful of rare sets like
the SX-88, KW-1, and similar low production or other oddities by the
handful of younger folks actually interested in them, the collector market
of a decade ago is pretty well stocked up and rapidly becoming depleted of
buyers. Supply will overwhelm demand eventually.

I'd say choose whichever one suits your fancy and send the other down the
road. Either one will look great with that CR-88 you picked up from Bill at
NEAR-Fest a couple years back.
