I'm on the dark path many others have followed........

Kind of hard to loose an old faithful friend. As stated above, keep your Lance. No doubt, it's paid for. If you have somewhere to store it when not in use, and it costs no money, it would be well worth it to keep it. So you take off with the 5er half-time. Come home, get the Lance, park the 5er and go the other half! :)
