Skeleton 39mm(15305) vs 16202 ultra thin?

Dear ladies and gents,

Hope everyone is well.

I have a friend that is interested to trade me his 16202 (recently acquired by him at retail), for my 15305 (I have owned for a number of years now).

I have never tired of the 15305 personally. It's extremely striking, beautiful, easy to set as has no date, and quite frankly is almost an instant look for anyone to realize that it is special.
I bought it for a fraction of what the market price is today (even if we corrected to say $100K), and I'm not concerned about value whatsoever.

As a lover of the Royal Oak generally, I never felt the need to look further since owning such a striking and very very very seldom seen reference in the wild as well as the market (in comparison to an ultra thin).

Now with my friend's offer, I am a little bit confused. Should I consider it?
Would the 16202 (being an anniversary model), and the fact that it is more timeless in the sense that it is slimmer and has a clean blue dial, be more iconic and suitable in 10-20 years from now when I am much older?
Would you even consider this trade? We haven't discussed how much money to come my way, and the point is not to gain value off the trade anyway, but rather whether it would be foolish or a good call to make the trade in the first place.

Many thanks folks!
