Burn in certainly could be an issue. However, if you are happy with the AQ cords, it seems that the simple solution would be to use the AQ cords and sell the Shunyata cords.
I buy and sell cords and cables all the time. Generally speaking, I'm not buying new from a dealer though, it helps to cut losses.
