1981 Les Paul Deluxe, to route or not to route?

Long story short, got a offered a deal on a 1981 cherry sunburst Les Paul I couldnt pass up. Its in great shape, weighs a ton, perfect neck, but it's a deluxe model with Dimarzio humbucking P90s. Not the biggest fan on those and would like to use some of Wolfe's pickups or some Burstbuckers.

Realistically, does anyone ever see a Deluxe ever appreciating to the point where I'm gonna regret routing it for the sound and look of a Standard? This one isnt perfect, got a few nicks and chips. Finish is worn off the neck. Serious mojo guitar, but still plays awesome.

Any input?
