1996 Fly Deluxe vs. 2006 Parker Fly Mojo

I have these Parkers
- 1996 Fly Deluxe - with tremolo
- 2006 Fly Mojo - with tremolo

I am considering selling one:

IYO - which would you sell?
Are there objective criteria you would consider like workmanship, made in the Ken Parker workshop, etc?
Or would it be more about PUP preference: DiMarzio vs. Seymour Duncan?

Thanks in advance for your thoughts!

My two cents are that you should keep both until you're certain which one you love more. My 2011 Supreme's neck is more comfortable to play than my '90s Flys - But the Ken-era instruments are objectively superior when it comes to construction and QC (they just have this "built to last" quality I find lacking in the USM era-onward). But I own other guitars which I play more; and the Flys would be sold first if something had to go. So it comes down to identifying which ones you'd regret having sold; and keeping them for at least a little while longer.

Which one SOUNDS better to you?

Me - I kept my early Parkers and sold the refined.
