D750 vs Df

Which one should I keep and which one should I sell?

I have been using a Df for the past year and enjoyed it. I recently bought a D750 for stupid cheap and straight away found out it was eligible for the shutter recall repair so sending it away tomorrow.

Haven't shot with the D750 yet apart from messing around with it at home. First impressions are that it's comfortable, has quite a few extra features compared to the Df, and honestly feels a bit lighter and smaller. I'm already leaning towards selling the Df and keeping the D750, but just wanting insight from others.

I shoot mostly family and friends stuff and a bit of outdoors landscape and macro.

I'm aware the Df is worth probably around 3x the resale of the D750, and I feel like I'd be more comfortable swinging around a cheaper camera on the bike, with my kids etc. And it definitely felt ridiculous using the Df to shoot mushroom macros deep in the forest.

In favour of the Df is that it is probably the most beautiful looking and feeling camera I will ever use. It's an absolutely incredible piece of design and engineering. I love the physical controls and methodical process involved, but feel my opportunities to enjoy it are limited when I'm usually racing to get settings dialled in to catch shots of running children.

All practical reasoning points towards selling the Df, but I'd love to hear opinions from other Df and D750 owners. Of course I'd like to keep both, but I really have no need for two cameras and it seems a bit extravagant. Besides, someone else should enjoy the other one of them.
