As previously mentioned, I'll likely be selling off the Domane. When I got my P2M crankset, I put the Domane's stock 5800 crankset on my gravel bike, but now I need to put something else back on it.

The 5800 crankset has seen <500 miles on gravel and around town (playground with the kids, groceries, etc) and has been the victim of heel rub and has a silvery sheen at the spindle area (I think that 105 is painted rather than anodized).

I also have a NOS 5700 crankset, which is the classic style 5-arm jobber (I had bought this with the intent of using it with those ill-fated PowerTap C1 chainrings, but the Domane didn't have the frame clearance).

So, which would be more attractive to (or maybe less noticed by) prospective buyers: the scuffed 5800 crankset with the more modern 4-arm aesthetic or the pristine but somewhat dated 5700?
