Help me value this upper

Alright, need some help from people who know more than I do on this.

From what I’ve been able to gather doing my own research, this might be a POF P416-9-P4SX piston-driven upper.

What I’ve been told is that this specific upper was basically a commercial “torture test” piece from the early 2000s. The guy I got it from said he was given two of them—one to blow up and one to keep. He ended up throwing this one in a safe and never really used it. I’ve been running it as a duty rifle for a while now.

Over time, I’ve had multiple people tell me it’s a pretty rare/unique system, but I can’t find much solid info on it. The only thing I’ve found was an old auction from around 2006 where one sold for about $2k.

So I’m trying to figure out:

What would you realistically value this at today?

Is this actually something rare, or just niche/obsolete?

Would you keep it or move it?

Only downside—I’ll be honest—is this thing is heavy as hell.

Appreciate any insight.

Thanks!
