Although I don't know if they will publicly admit it I have talked to many that have built their grocery getters into the monster trailer queens that they have become and when they all looked back on it they wished they had kept it modest and street worthy (hence my post a half year ago or so about keeping it IFS and such).

One of the guys in my local wheeling club got rid of his trailer queen buggy and is building a CJ into a moderately capable but still streetable rig so he can ditch the tow-rig-as-daily-driver...

I guess it boils down to: do you want to suborn your he-man instincts to conquer the biggest baddest trails you can in favor of more family-participatory wheeling? Do you HAVE to choose, as opposed to keeping both? How big is your garage?

Jeff is right, you aren't going to get your money back out of Slinky, so if you can swing it, I would keep it around if possible for the day when you can let your inner caveman run free again (AKA, when the kids move out).
