OK folks, what would you do?

I bought a Sigma 70-300 APO Super Macro II off eBay. Here in Japan that lens sells for about 300 bucks. The guy that owns the camera store here has the Nikon 70-300 ED for $430.00. I was telling him about my Sigma and he is willing to trade straight across. I would lose the macro capability of the Sigma so would it be worth it? After getting my Sigma 14mm EX I want to get rid of my 2 Sigma zooms and replace them with the EX versions. What do yall think? would this be a deal too good to pass or stick with the macro capability until I can afford to replace it with a EX lens?

Frank,
if you mean Nikon 70-300 f/4-5.6 D, I have this lens and it's a good one. Sharp up to 200mm (depending on aperture of course) and produces great color.
