Interesting dilemma faced by anyone collecting a particular denomination in proof or even specimen finishes.
As a whole the sets are expensive enough on their own but given time you may find some being offered for less than half issue price. In some cases the individual coins will drop in price proportionately as well depending on the demand.
If you decide to break up the set for the sake of one coin, you have to find collectors willing to pay a hefty premium for the remaining pieces in order to get back your investment. Depending on your situation this may not be worth the trouble or aggravation.
One example related to your predicament is the 2006 proof gold plated dollar which typically retails for more than the cost of the entire set.
