Default D25 vs D40

However, I just played a 1966 D40 at GC, and there really is no comparison. To my ears, I would keep the D40 if it were up to me.
And, from a purely monetary point of view, the D25 is in near mint condition, one minor ding on the top, no checquing or wear anywhere on it, whereas the D40 is in good shape for its age, but......... So the D25 would fetch more toward the top of it's price range, just thinking out loud here.

It's like trying to decide which one of your kids to give up.
