which would you keep/which would you sell?

Good morning
I have a kind-of 'out-there' Stephen King collection; my background is being a book collector for 3 decades, a fan and collector of the earliest Stephen King books...but a neophyte when it comes to Special/Limited Editions ...not that I don't like them! )
I recently bought a Remarque Subterranean press The Shining Gift Edition...it came with the (original) Slipcase, new & sealed (and of course the Remarque signed Chong art page)
It so happened the seller had and sent a spare (also official) Traycase...the official very one that came with the Limited Edition (signed); of course the Traycase is B_E_A_U_T_I_F_U_L & loads more cool than the slipcase (if anyone is skeptical its an official Long-standing Stephen King Limited edition seller...everything sent is official...he said its "a long story' as to how he had both the Traycase & slipcase...and they both look EXACTLY as the respective Traycase & slipcases look on various online sales on the various editions of this publication.
So my 2-fer question is this:-
1. I would like to keep the Traycase as its so much nicer...but do you folks think that's a crazy choice as I would have then a hybrid animal?
2. for whichever one I don't keep, I was thinking of listing it on eBay, at a very low starting price, and see what happens...I do not wish to keep BOTH on my already ridiculously overcrowded shelves...do you folks think either (as-new Traycase or slipcase are 'sell-able'?
that's it
I would really appreciate any advice
