Should I??

Guys, I kindly need your opinion on this and thanks in advance.
I have the opportunity to buy a Y serial (2002) GMT master 2 16710 (pepsi) in an excellent condition (except for a slight scratch on the bezel) for $8500 (no box no papers, but trusted seller). But to do so I have to sell one of my watches.
I am thinking of selling my milgauss 116400GV (black dial). The seller is paying $4200 for it. So I will have to pay $4300 to get the 16710.
What do you think? Shall I go for it or do I keep my milgauss? I can’t keep it and buy the 16710.
Also, is it easy to swap the insert to the coke for example? And are they expensive?
Thanks and I appreciate the help.

The inserts can be changed, but not sure on the fees. I would take the gmt, as I do not personally like the milguass and trade that. However, if you wear it, then keep it and buy the gmt.

I'd choose the GMT. If it was the blue, then I'd keep that one

Would be great if you could have both especially if you have Box and Papers on the discontinued Milgauss. But if you can only have one, I’d take the GMT for the complications.
