[NOTE]Buying/selling/trading outside of Marketplace is a big "no no" so I am asking for opinions only. This is not an offer. Please don't make an offer. I just want serious minded advice from this trusted community of awesome users.[/NOTE]
So I'm at the point where I think I'm ready to retire my tried and true, been through a lot together and still love The Beast Lumia 1520.3. She's in great shape as I have cared for her very well...
My initial thought was that I would WDRT the faithful gal back to 8.1 + Denim, forgo a SIM, pop in an SD card and set 'er up to use solely as a camera. Strip out all the non-imaging apps I can and load the Beast Phone up with apps that only center around Pictures, Videos and Image Editing...
However, my friend Indistinguishable and I were having a chat and he suggested I might be better off procuring the much touted Lumia 1020 for this project. I like that idea as well.
And that brings us to the "Should I? / Would You?" part of the thread.
Should I / Would You:

Any thoughtful input would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Should I / Would You:
- Trade the 1520.3 for a similarly excellent condition 1020?
- Buy a 1020 in great shape to kit out and sell the 1520 to cover the costs?
- Be greedy, get a 1020 and also keep the 1520? (Mind you I wouldn't need either as a phone, I'm sitting on 4 phones right now and I always feel bad when I have too many phones to realistically use - I hate to see them looking at me all sad and neglected like.)
- Being in the US could I reasonably hope to find the rare Telefonica L1020 with 64GB internal storage?
- Battery life with all day camera use on a 1020: is the 2000 mAh battery enough?
- Processing power: can the 1020 match a 1520 on Denim for shot speed? Can I just bang away at the capture button?
- 1020 on Denim: performance?
- Lumia Camera features: would they have parity between the two?
- 1020 and the Camera Grip... Fair trade for a 1520.3? Cash as a sweetener? Which side takes the $?
