I figure piecing it out, would be a gentler exit, allowing me to downsize and free up some of the money, while not quitting overnight.
We've always viewed this collection as a means to someday enjoy retirement, travel, etc...so I'd like to choose the route that benefits us and that goal the most.

Problem is you just said two different things as goals.
1. Do it gradually and enjoy the process.
2. Sell it as a means to raise money and enjoy retirement.
There's a time value to money. The same reason the lottery offers you more if you take your win over time applies here. Again to use your round numbers $100,000 today is worth a lot more than $10,000/year for 10 years.
