All are valid points. I chose to re-blue my all-matching Artillery. I paid an all-matching price for the gun. Had the blue been 95% plus, I would have paid a lot more. Had it been 99%, the price would have doubled. So now I have rust protection, a good-looking piece, it's a kicked up shooter. I paid a kicked up all matching shooter price for it and that is what it will be worth to the next owner. In my opinion CONDITION will always dictate price. I also have a museum background where restoration is a good word.
