should I keep my original radiator, new one on the way

Ordered this radiator from enginered cooling products last night. I'm pretty stoked! I'm ready to go on a long road trip for 3 hours one way.The last thing I need is my radiator giving out. My original radiator was seeping in 3 areas. It didn't lose any coolant just a little wet . Seems to be the best cooling radiator out there for the price with two rows of 1 inch tubes.
Should I keep or scrap Or selll my original radiator? I'm not going to do and all original restoration. So I don't mind having aftermarket parts in view. I heard somewhere that the values of these original radiators may go up in the future. And I think having it reconditioned. would be out of my price range

Ok, so I guess the general consensus is to scrap it. LOL

I would keep it. Have it repaired to keep on standby.
