The only reason I would get that card reholdered, if it were mine, is if I was about to sell it. The fact is that it is a beautiful card, regardless of the technical assessment. I don't know many collectors who hold and admire their cards with a loupe, and that card is gorgeous from here, as I am sure it is in hand or in a wall display.
In fact from all my conversations with fellow enthusiasts, I am seeing a great amount of collectors who collect and shop for eye appeal. I personally look for cards just like yours-- those rare specimens that look as good but cost a fraction of what a higher grade example costs. Not many "3.5's" exude that kind of look. Congrats on a great card and welcome back to collecting!
