Thanks guys. I'm going to keep what I have.
Todd.K I'm not a collector, but have owned ARs continuously since 1984 so having something different (like the LMT and MR762A1) is a nice change of pace.

You already made your decision but generally speak, if you like the rifle and you enjoy shooting it, keep it. I have a couple MWS's, and SR25, and just sold my Scar 17. The scar was not a bad weapon, just was sort of redundant and outside of folding really didnt do anything for me. As dumb as they are, I would like to get a shorter M1A as just a retro iron sight blaster.
I only have 1 MWS but if someone gave me another .308 AR for free….I would keep it as it costs nothing to sit in my safe. I won’t be buying another though just so I have 2. I have 3 total uppers for the MWS so I think I am covered.
If you like them, keep them! If they work, use them!

I agree with with all of the sage and sound advise given here.
The guns I have sold (and there has been a lot of them) have generally been sold because I didn't like them (for one reason or another) or found an option that I liked better. Often "liked better" meant I perceived the replacement as 'doing something better' than the gun it replaced. My LMTs and HKs exceed my needs and expectations. I have zero interest in parting with them based upon their abilities. My quandary was related to the idea that "standardization" in some way would enhance me / my shooting / my battery of firearms. I'm just a civilian hobbyist so there isn't any real advantage to going this route and the stated disadvantages are reasons to keep what I have and stop overthinking this.
At some point I would like to add a SR25, but not until the prices drop out of orbit.
Keep both. Each has its own novelty. Maybe grab a 6.5cm barrel for the MWS to make it different. As a civilian shooter, there is no real reason to standardize on one thing IMO. Variety is the spice of life. Add an SR25 and a SCAR too. Each have their merits and detractors. The KAC CC and PC come pretty close to perfection with the detractors of high price and poor availability at present.

I go back and forth on this as well. Sometimes I'd prefer to see myself with one gun and be an absolute ninja with it. Other times I enjoy knowing there's some variety and redundancy. Most of the time I almost sell, and then talk myself out of it. I'd keep them unless you really need to recoup some cash.
