Have them both now and don't need two.
Both 35/2.8
Olympus: MF rangefinder, small viewfinder, small when without flash, LR44 batteries
Yashica: Autofocus, large clear viewfinder, slightly bulky, 2CR5 battery 
Yashica in better shape and more collectors value?

Keep the XA, you can adjust aperture to control DOF, has foolproof (and less noise) thumb wheel advance, is compact, batteries are
cheaper and last longer. Sell the Yashica for some profit, hopefully. |

Keep both. If not, keep the T3 as the XA can be bought later at ridiculously low prices.
