F14 Tomcat

Hello, I'm pretty new to the hobby, I'm wondering if someone could help advise me on a trade.
I own a functional F14 pinball (need cosmetic touch ups,but plays) and am pondering trading it for a Carnevil machine (dedicated,25" monitor,functional, few scratches here and there).
I really don't know the value of either, but often see pinball machines sell for much higher than video games. At the same time, I believe Carnevil is a expensive, computer type pcb with hard drive, surely more valuable than any regular ol' jamma cabinet.
Another consideration is the care and maintenance of these machines. Are pins much more problem prone/maintenance Dependant than a vid of this sort. I really haven't a clue.
I should add that I have very little experience in the repair department of either vid or pin machines, but am determined to learn.
Any advice, opinions greatly appreciated.
Thank you
