Diversity & Resale Value on Prospects & "Blues Deluxe"

This is a two-parter. I'm planning on getting a custom Prospect built w/ the full center block. However, the Blues Deluxe that was listed on an earlier thread calling for used Prospects is also calling my name.

 

I am considering getting the Blues Deluxe AND the custom and either selling the Blues Deluxe down the road, or keeping it and setting it up differently. I am not planning or expecting to make money off of this, just thinking it would give me a chance to play & bond with a Prospect before I put the final go-ahead on a Prospect, maybe set it up differently to have a different sound/vibe to it, or just convince my wife two Prospects isn't totally nuts.

 

Reality setting in . . . Ideally, it'd be cool to keep both. If I can't, how hard is it to move the Prospect "Blues Deluxe" models? It looks and sounds nice (from the pics and one clip I've seen/heard), but sadly it's not exactly flying off the shelf for whatever reason, thus allowing me to ponder and ponder. If I could somehow keep both, how much different ground could they cover (both being structurally, well, identical)? Would it be worth it, or should I just get my Custom Prospect (that should look and sound amazing, I keep drooling over the layout and finish I have in mind for this thing) and put that BD money in the bank until I actually need something radically different? I mean, I could care less that it's a "Ed Roman" model or that it's called(?) a "Blues Deluxe" just that it seems like a real nice guitar for not really that much all things considered.

 

Sorry, I've been kind of going back & forth. Just looking for objective opinions from outside (and unbiased [well, maybe]) sources. At any rate, I'd definitely be open to opinions. And if the Blues Deluxe listed doesn't make sense in my predicament somebody buy it please? It's just taunting me with its Almond Sunburst finish and it's flame maple pickguard and that D-VIP setup and those shiny covered pickup covers and....
