Default Overzealous in purchasing a nice 12 string?

About two years ago I picked up a Seagull Artist Studio Burst 12, easily the nicest 12 string I’ve played. It sounds great, and plays so much better than any 12 I’ve ever picked up. My issue is that I don’t play it too often, and every time I pick it up the neck feels like a monster. I know if I played it daily I would probably get used to it, but my daily player for the last four months has been my Rickenbacker (this probably exasperates thisbprobably, since that neck is far in the small side). My question is....do I keep it and just deal with the changing neck size when switching guitars, or do I move on and give it a new home and hope to one day find a 12 with a neck I like more? I feel bad selling it, everything about it other than the neck is superb, and I’ll likely never buy a 12 if this quality again, but I feel bad having such a nice instrument spend most of it's days in a case.
