Default HEX-V2 or HEX-NET?

I have a genuine Ross-Tech HEX-USB+CAN lead (supplied by Ilexa) which does everything I need for my D2 and is unlimited. It also works on many newer cars of course.

BUT I also have a REGISTERED (to me) copy of VCDS-Lite (useable with 3rd-party interface) that I bought directly from Ross-Tech and is now spare.
It has significant value however as a trade-in to one of the V2 interfaces. By default that's to the 10-VIN version as well.
I have no need for it, but it would presumably have market value above my trade-in cost.

So "as an investment" which would people go for, the "cheaper" HEX-V2 or costlier HEX-NET?
