My situation isn't quite like yours, but here are my thoughts:
I got into model railroading right before sound was becoming readily available. I purchased 10 or so non-sound units of various types. But then sound came out... at first, I didn't care about sound. But then I bought one sound-equipped loco and the bug bit me. I have already successfully added sound to an Athearn CF7 and have a couple more to do. The rest of my existing fleet is non-sound P2K and Atlas, and it isn't quite so easy to pack a speaker into those. So, I am going to bite the bullet and purchase several more sound equipped locos to round out my fleet. As for the non-sound locos, I guess they will get sold off at rock bottom prices.
