I would say keep the Hunq and at least one of the other three (a back-up commuter is an essential for me). You could always have the canti mounts moved on the Hunq to the 650b position, questions of BB clearance, but that's often solved by running a wider tire. I have a frame and fork with the frame builder right now going through 650b to 26" canti surgery. It's a small investment to customize a bike to fit your personal needs entirely. The paint trauma is localized and can be touched up tastefully.
One normally loses money selling a bicycle and a new bike, although a worthwhile investment, often adds up in price, not to mention the time it takes to compile the parts and build everything together.
