If you are 100% sure you are doing the right thing, then go for it. However, if I were in your shoes, I would be absolutely certain that the loss of your Bond SMP won't bother you once it's gone. I speak from experience, since I sold three Omegas only to later buy them back because I missed them so much. I could have saved quite a bit of money if I had just held on to them in the first place.

Consider how much you really want the Speedy vs. how much of a loss you are willing to take when you sell your Bond SMP. Also consider how much you'll miss the Bond SMP. If, as you say, you really don't wear it much anymore, then perhaps you won't miss it.

Just my opinion...
