84 Voyageur: trade for 87 LeTour?

I've got an 84 Voyageur that is a little small for me (57 cm). I may have a chance to trade it for a larger size 87 LeTour. My Voyageur is the one made by Panasonic with Tange Champion #2 tubeset, including fork.

My other option would be to sell the Voyageur and use the income to fix up a couple of beauties I have waiting for some upgraded parts. Any loaded touring rig fetches good money here in Madison, so this might be the better option for me.

Trade or sell?

Got a current pic of your bike?

Is the LeTour in comparable condition?

On the one hand getting a better fitting bike is good. But on the other hand selling one to finish two sounds okay too.

On second thought don't post a pic, might make me tempted to look what I have in the basement for trade stock.

Keep, if not, sell. I have an 86' (also Japanese made) and it's really a great bike.
