When they established Terminal Control Areas many, many moons ago a VOR was required equipment to operate within the TCA. But now that it's Class B, the regs say you only need one if you operate IFR in Class B.

I didn't see any other place where it says you NEED a VOR. I use a GPS so I have never used my VOR.

Resale? For the next owner? Next prebuy they find a discrepancy and they start digging, leads to a bargaining chip to the new buyer over price.
Perhaps you change your mind about an IFR ticket, updating wt/bal?
If it were me, its just easier in the long run to not change the configuration of the airplane when just replacing damaged or worn parts.
