Would any of you make this trade??

Been pondering trading my 4 5/8" Super Black Hawk for a 4" Red Hawk. Why?? No particular reason, really, just because I guess. I know the RH can handle pretty heavy loads but that's not why I want one however. If I need heavy loads I'll just step up to my .454. A new RH is about $1,000, so I'd have to pony up some cash. Or should I just be satisfied with what I have and be grateful I have it. SBH is in MINT CONDITION with very, very few rounds through it (under 100). The more I think about it I realize I really can't justify the trade but can't stop thinking about it. It would mostly be for "bear protection" while in the west. hiking, camping and trout fishing. I know the chances of a bear/mountain lion encounter are slim, slimmer and no chance at all but you can't not think about it and you should be somewhat prepared. Hottest load the RH would probably ever see would be 240-300 gr factory loads, JHP or hard cast.
