Would you rather....4483 or 8129 AT-AT?

Thoughts here for both investing and collecting... I have a 8129 I picked up a couple of years ago. Box is not perfect, has some creasing, but nice seals, etc. This set has shot up quite a bit into the $250 range on eBay. (I got it for $90 or so I think) Local baseball card store near me has a 4483, listed for $199. The box is a bit worn, and has a popped seal on the side. I guess all pieces/bags are unopened though. I can probably talk him down to $175, if not maybe a bit lower (if I buy the Vampyre Castle he has for $80 as well). Soooo....better long term investment? The popped seal dings the set a bit, doesn't it? 4483 has less minifigs, but 200 more pieces and a sturdier/slightly bigger build. And of course is older. Any thoughts? My budget is limited (or should be, lol), so I am thinking of it as either/or vs having both sets.
