I'd be inclined to keep the E-Glide also. You have the benefit of a known bike, its condition and it is probably set up the way you want it anyway. The used bike market is soft right now and it doesn't look like it is going to get better any time soon.
Now, that being said, I have a 2004 Road King and I absolutely love it. It is set up the way I like it and fits me well. It was bought used with 14k on the odometer and now has almost 25k on it. You are likely to put some cash into a used bike even if it is just for maintenance and even more to put the bike the way you want it (seat, handlebars, etc.)
I love my King, but don't think I'd go back 5 years from a bike you already have.

Good Luck on the sale. I had a 2003 RK I Really liked. 2002 seems like a good year. Glad you decided to keep riding. The older frame isn't that bad at all. It rides softer but the handling is not as responsive either. Wait till winter and I bet you can get an nice older bike for $8500.
