I would try to keep both. For downsizing purposes I would look elsewhere before getting rid of sockets unless you have a bunch of redundant sets.

Don't think you can go wrong with either one. The bigger saws in the Rigid set look appealing if you plan on using them. Milwaukee has a much bigger selection of tools you can expand into though so that's something to consider as well. I'd lean toward Milwaukee.
