The difference you're seeing is all about the wood.  Personally, I love that meaty tone!
 
It sounds like keeping both may be in your future if the money works for you.  With that great a tonal difference, you may wish to have both options.

Never sell!
 
I have learned the hard way by using my old basses for trade-ins.
 
If I would have kept my stuff I would still have;
 
'66 Hofner beatle bass
'73 Gibson SG bass
'85 Steinberger
 
Not to mention a pre revolution Blessing solid (not ply)3/4 upright bass.
 
My recommendation is to keep it.
