I didn't read all the replies so perhaps someone posted this idea already.
You can't go by what you paid for it if you trade it away. Sooner or later you'll need to replace it and when you get to that point it's going to likely cost you up around $23 to $25 a brick even when the prices lower. Because they almost certainly won't lower back down to sub $20 figures any time soon. At least that's what my crystal ball tells me.
So if you trade it you can't look at what you paid originally but what you WILL pay to replace it if the need arises. And based on that I think I'd just find the other $300.
