Am I crazy to even think about flipping a DaytonaC for a SS Sky Dweller?

Even though they aren't out yet, I've been agonizing over whether to flip my newly acquired 116500LN (black dial) for a SS (or two-tone, as you wish) Sky Dweller once they hit stores in a few months. I love my Daytona, but I've also really liked the Sky Dweller for a while now, and the new SS price tag is within my reach, unlike the PM models. I live overseas but am in constant contact with the US, so it would be quite useful to have a GMT function. And I have to admit the lack of a date on the Daytona drives me absolutely nuts. I had a Sub date for 10+ years and I'm just so used to looking at my wrist, I can't break that habit.

So...even though there's nothing I can do about it now (other than wake up in the middle of the night in a cold sweat thinking about should I? shouldn't I?), would you guys trade a black DaytonaC straight-up for a SS Sky Dweller? Even if I had to add a bit to make up the difference, I'm assuming with the pent-up demand for the Daytona it would just about even out. I don't have much else in the arsenal, so this would be a daily wearer (I just can't say "beater" for a $14k watch).

I realize I should just keep the Daytona and buy the Sky Dweller, but that might not go down so well with my better half...so in the interests of household bliss, I think I should just keep one or the other.

I would welcome your thoughts!
