Trade an R8A for an SW8? What am I missing?

He is a HAM. He used the R8 before he was licensed and since then purchased
a transceiver which works as well as the R8A does for what he needs.

He operates CW and purchased a low power portable transmitter so he can operate
a portable station, probably from batteries. In his opinion an SW8 would make
a good receiver for his portable station.

Since he no longer uses the R8A, an even trade makes a lot of sense to him.
Both parties can communicate directrly so that there are no misunderstandings,
no EBAY fees, etc.
