Sample licenses always forbid reselling the library, so you're stuck 
with your investment forever. I didn't mean to imply that the 
Garritan library is better, because I haven't heard the two. All I'm 
saying is that $171 (the difference in price between the two) is a 
small enough amount that I wouldn't factor it in my decision unless 
the two products are extremely close. It's not like buying a rack 
synth that you can sell when you get tired of it.

Just to clarify: you may well be right that the Garritan library is 
better, or you may not; I just don't know. My post was a little 
ambiguous, but I'd never intentionally recommend one product over 
another without having heard them both!
