It's certainly true that the greater distance between the rear and foresight will help with accuracy,but I would recommend trying both out before deciding which one to sell,some people find that they can shoot more accurately with a heavier rifle whereas others prefer a lighter one,also rifle fit is very important,one may fit you better than the other,so experiment with both.
Good shooting
