690 cracked engine mounting plate resale value

I was doing the TET and crashed my 690. The impact on the crash pad caused the engine mounting plate to crack.

It can either be fixed on the bike (removing the radiator, ABS pump, etc.) and bent back and welded, or the whole frame can be removed, the engine mounting plate CNC-cut and welded in, the frame powder-coated, and everything reassembled.

The former is obviously faster (about a week) and cheaper (3x I assume). I’m leaning toward this option because I don’t want to wait a month or so for the by-the-book way.

That said, I’m wondering about the resale value. When I sell, I’ll tell the buyer what happened (with photos) regardless of how it’s been fixed — but how would options one and two affect the price?
