Great question, and I've learned a ton from reading others' posts. Something I can add from my investment experience is: consider what your alternatives are as well as your goals. 1) Is the passive income useful to you (are you trying to live off of it?)? 2) if sell the node, what else would you do with the money / what are your alternatives? If you've got a more lucrative place to put the money, there's no reason not to move it (and likely shave off some of your original principle to buy yourself some nice things). Considering my alternatives always makes it much easier to decide what to do with what I have... good luck!
