Default Is it better to build or to preserve?

Strange question, let me explain. I was recently fortunate enough ( My wife says crazy enough. ) to get my hands on an original Altair 8800 kit completely unassembled. It is just as it was 31 years ago when it was first ordered. I myself have been longing to get my hands on one of these for as many years. But now that I finally have one, I am torn between wether or not to actually build it.

Being new to vintage computers, I'm not sure if I would be doing a disservice by assembling this very unique collection. On the other hand, if I build it and get it to run, it would probably be one of the most pristine units in existence.

Any recommendations?
