Late to this party, and I was going to say 86 the 83 and keep the 98....then I read all the comments and see that you've made up YOUR mind, and that's all that matters. After seeing your second set of pics AND your explanation for your decision I can see clearly now that you need to keep them both.

I am going to keep the 1883 CC DMPL. I love the 1898 O, but the mirrors on the CC put it to shame. It's not even really close. Ultimately I would want to upgrade the 1883 to a DMPL 66 or 66+, preferably with a CC mint mark as well. Thanks for all the insights!
The good news is now you have a few dozen people ready to buy that 98-O.
