Only you can answer that. Quads are worth more now than they were a few years back (before 2011). 295s are only worth anything to those willing to retube. That's one reason I sold my 2:90.
My quad is my favorite Mesa product I have owned. And that's when I'm playing through a rocktron velocity 120 solid state power amp. My quad has had the same tubes since I got it in 2011, so I'm not worried about having to retube it too often.

I would keep it. You'll wind up wishing you still had it. You could maybe geta solid state power amp to run when you aren't to critical of your sound to save your power tubes and then switch to the tube power amp when you really feel like rocking!

I'd consider seeing if you can get a good sale value for the 2:95, and then finding a used fifty/fifty. Retube on the 50/50 is cheap, plus your rack will be lighter and potentially smaller. As for the quad, i have no experience with it, but I've always heard preamp tubes last forever - that has been my experience as well.
