Yet Another "Should I" Thread

OK, I have a mint condition Zon Sonus 5 (transparent amber)that has sat in it's case and remained virtually unplayed since the day I bought it new. I have an identical one in red that I play all the time.

I have a chance to trade it and $200 for a Mike Lull Jazz 5 in Cnady Apple Red from Brian Barrett's shop. What do you guys think ? The jazz can be seen here.....

[Invalid or Expired Link Removed] Look in the used Basses section

The only reason I'm thinking about giving up the Zon is that it just sits, I love the bass otherwise. I'm thinking I might play the Lull more and that it would satisfy my jones for a Sadowsky/Lull type super jazz 5. What do you guys think ?
 
I like the music, but I can't find the bass your talking about. I have a couple that just sit that may go to a better home myself. If the deals OK with you why not and have something you'd pay attention to. Especially if you have an identical one, just a different color.
 
Mike Lull's are some of the best jazzes I've ever played. If you've got another Zon that is getting your attention, why not go for the Lull? A warning: picking up the Lull may cause you to pay less attention to the Zon! Brian is great to deal with, BTW.
