What is 'best' is an individual discussion.

1) Strip it to the bones, in an attempt to save a few �/$/Euro at the risk of alienating your local dealer.

2) Have a conversation with your local dealer and cut a deal with them. Thus maintaining a good relationship for the next purchase or support question.

3) Cut a deal with your local dealer for a non trade-in price; then see if you can sell it privately. If this is more than the trade-in deal you win a little but have the hassle and time scale of attempting to sell it privately.
I seem to be the start of this sub discussion in this thread.
I would pick 2) personally

But stripping the unit is also not the right description. You trade in for a standard unit with digital outs only. So no reason to trade in a unit with both digital as analogue out, and optional more cards that are not standard.

I will wait what my dealer proposes..
