I would keep the FE-2 (wonderful camera, and you would miss it...),
and sell the motor and FE. The 8008 (used only) is a nice, "modern"
body, moderately priced, with the two newer features that I find
useful: built-in motor, and selectable flash TTL fill ratios (with
the SB24/5/6/7 flashes).
Hope This Helps
