I’d sell it....pumps become useless once you start shooting semis. As such, yours will continue to sit around being useless....especially since you have two awesome Silvers

You seem to have answered your own question. There are times a pump is better than an autoloader and other times when the autoloader is the better choice. If you haven't run into situations where the pump is a better option, then I guess you don't need it. If it was me, I'd get a short barrel for the pump, or cut the existing barrel and thread it for choke tubes, and use that for upland and big game hunting if you're into that sort of thing, and leave the semi-auto with a long tube for pass shooting.

Buy the Benelli M4 semi, it is all the shotgun anyone would ever need. If it’s good enough for law enforcement everywhere then that answers that for it’s self.

Since you already have the pump , and have taken good care of it ; you might as well keep it . You may need an extra shotgun sometime for someone else to use , or camp gun ; and it is always better to have the firearm and not need it ; than need it , and not have it . That is the great thing about firearms ; if you are not burning ammo , then they cost nothing to keep , and take up very little storage space .
Everyone should own a 12ga pump action shotgun. Just like everyone should own a .22.
Whenever I head out camping or a road trip to the coast I throw my Dads old wingmaster behind the seat. Not because I’m going out shooting, but just in case. You just never know. They’re cheap, reliable, and can basically do anything. I’ve got an old belt with random shells from over the years. Slugs, buckshot, target loads. Basically have all the bases covered.

Pump action shotguns are the claw hammer of the firearms world and every man worth his salt should have at least one.
I spring turkey hunt and waterfowl pretty extensively so I always kept a pump as a backup to my SBE II just in case. After 3 years of never using the backup pump I moved it on to a new home. Pumps are great for new shooters that want a durable shotgun but don't want to throw down the necessary scratch for a reliable semi, if you're beyond that point sell it and put your 5-600 bucks toward something you'll use.
The whole "Never sell a gun!" thing kind of irritates me. Don't keep the beast locked in a cage. If you don't use it, move it to someone who will.
