Help needed deciding between SD10 and SD14

I live in the US but am visiting family in Germany over the holidays. Since I have been looking for a back-up to my good old SD9 (and DP1s), I bid on both a SD10 and SD14 here on German eBay, and ended up winning both. I only want to keep one and sell the other camera while I am still here. My problem is that the weather has been so terrible that I could not even try the cameras outdoors yet. I usually only shoot outdoors. Handling-wise I like the SD14 better, but I read that many prefer the SD10 for IQ. Both cameras are practically new, the SD14 only has 87 exposures taken, the SD10 has 420. SD10 comes with flash and power-grip. I have searched all posts here and am even more indecisive now. What is your suggestion, which one to keep? I am after IQ and the Foveon look. Very happy with both my DP1s and SD9. But since I have invested in Sigma lenses (18-50EX, 17-35EX, 15-30EX, 24-70EX, 18-200 OS) I wanted that second body as a back-up. Dang, wish I could experiment more with both cams before I sell, but it's a foggy grey soup here outside...
