I love these posts!!! Have your tried treadling them both? Which one treadles the best? Which one sews the best? Which one to you love the most? I'd say DH will get over it quicker if you are up front. I know my DH is cool when I bring one home but then once in a while he will make little comments so I know he would like to see some of them in use or gone. He for sure doesn't like to have them in HIS space. He also knows they are a pretty good investment both for the money and for the grand daughter's future. You just can't buy new ones like those.
