Choice of Vandersteen models

Assume the price for either will be the same. Quatro Wood(not the CT), or the 5 (not the 5a or CT). Both in excellent condition. Don't discuss alternative speakers, other than these two. Which will sound better, which will hold value better. I have Modwright OPPO 105, and  NAD 375BEE amp, 150 Watts Per 2 channel.

FWIW, I had a pair of 5s and now a Quatro Wood (non-ct).  The
Quartos sound better than I could ever get the 5s to sound.  But I'm sure this is also influenced by room and upstream components.

I have two sets of loudspeakers, Vandy 5A and Von Schweikert Unifield Mk3.  Both pretty great.  The Vandy's are my preference of these 2, mainly for the bottom end.  You will be happy with either of your choices, I am confidant.  I would take the 5.

The Music Room here has a pair of 5, not perfect but a decent cabinet guy could fix the dings and you could get Vandersteen to recover the hoods.
Rob is the guy I deal with there - straight shooter
they are a large dealer here on the gon and I have never been disappointed in the 5 or 6 deals I have done with them...
