See what they are worth in 15 years. See whether you can get replacement parts for both. See whether you can get a 35/1.4 ASPH for the F5. (Yes you can for the EOS, but not for the F5). See what the orthopedic surgeon charges you after you carry an F5 everywhere for 10 years. ;-) Value has a *huge* subjective component. - -Alexey
