If you like the Taurus, keep it. You may find new things you don't like about the new Ruger. Resale value on the Taurus will probably suck anyway, so you will end up parting with an old friend for a pittance. You will probably regret it.
I traded off a SP101 that I didn't like and got a Taurus 66 that I love. The SP101 was better looking, had a lot more metal, and was everything on paper I thought I wanted. When I shot 357, a mixture of huge fingers and sharp edges on the trigger assembly left my trigger finger cut and bleeding. I polished out the edges, but it still was not comfortable, and I developed a flinch with it. The first time I shot the Taurus, it was far more comfortable to shoot, and I had no issues.
The new owner of the 357 is a good friend, and he did not have the same issues...it became one of his favorites.
Until you shoot the Ruger, do not trust the Internet or spec sheets. Shoot it and pick the one that you shoot best, or that you just like the best.
