If I had 2 controllers laying around for years I would trade them in after I got the PS4 Pro controller but I would have only gotten $10 that it's not worth it. It turned out to be easy to swap out parts. Very happy with the quality of the product, looks durable. I haven't tried them for a very long time, but I'm already happy with how they feel. If you violated the control check, you will save a lot of money. There's also some extra weight, but that's because they're not plastic.
