If you had to sell one, 5513

Hey, I am thinking about selling one of my 5513, its either the meters first or the gilt, the gilt dial isn't perfect, there are some flaws on the dial but still looks decent(?)
Which one would you choose?

Normally I'd say the gilt, but that chipping on the edge of its dial would tilt me toward keeping the MF.

I'd sell them both and buy a really nice gilt.

This would be a tough decision but I agree that the MF is nicer so I would keep that one after swapping the MK2 bezel insert off the gilt one
