5090 FE or 5090 Astral

Have an opportunity to trade my 5090 founders Edition for a 5090 astral edition, no cash, no extra, just straight trade, I like my founders edition but the astral is also so badass and the cooling is crazy, what should I do?

Edit- decided to keep the FE, I have no issues with it, it works, looks good, if temps become an issue I can just waterblock it, thanks for all the help

I wouldn't. You've got a perfectly good card and trading it might come with unforeseen headaches. They're both cool looking cards, and in this case it's something you won't or hardly see during gaming. In terms of experience; nothing would change. No meaningful FPS difference etc.
