If you bought an amp, would you rather..........

Would you rather buy an old school white PPI ART amp that is scratched up like crazy, but still has the art on the amp, or one that had been properly sanded down and repainted solid white?

I have an old faithful PPI ART AX400 with the built in crossovers and they were a little more rare. I wanna clean it up a little, but don't wanna kill the resale. I think it would be more appealing with a nice fresh paint job provided it was sanded and painted properly. I don't have the ability to powdercoat it like it was originally, but I do have a special paint that allows the amp to breathe.

I don't have any intentions of selling it, but you know...... one day it'll come.

I would take the cheaper option but I don't care about looks at all. My mids/highs amp is scratched all to hell and missing exterior pieces. As long as it still performs well, I'm happy.
