Canon 20D-Sell or Infrared Swap? - TriStateTuners.com :: Home of Tristate Auto Enthusiast

I have a perfectly working Canon 20D that could use a sensor cleaning and it'll be perfectly fine. Not too sure if I should sell it for extra money, considering its my first DSLR ever owned, or send it away to read infrared light. It'll cost between $325-$375 for the infrared conversion, and I might be able to get about $300 for the camera, hopefully. I need to save up for the Canon 10-22, but it'd also be awesome to have an infrared camera. Opinions?

Link for infrared conversion

Also, if I do decide to get the IR conversion, which one to get? There's a standard color one and an enhanced color one. The enhanced color, when converted to black and white, loses a little contrast but that's nothing I can't fix in Photoshop. I feel the Standard is too boring, and the Enhanced is a little too much. There's never a happy medium with this ****. Standard color costs $325, enhanced costs $375. Here's some examples.

Standard color RAW out of camera
Standard color adjusted in Photoshop
Enhanced color RAW out of camera
