Is it worth it?

I'm considering trying to sell/trade my Scalding Tarn and Polluted Delta
(plus some theses and thoses) to get a Polluted Delta. I've been hesitant to do so because fetchlands, but on the other hand (economics wise) mtg is one of the few things where putting all of your eggs in one basket can actually be a good thing.
Anyhow what do you guys think?

If you are going for purely value, then in the long term it will likely be worthwhile.
If you plan on actually playing with the cards, I'd rather keep the two fetches, or just turn the foil Delta into 3-4 normal Deltas. Khans fetches will be going nowhere but up from here, so might as well get enough to play with and you will turn a profit.

Well first off let me say thank you all for the advice. Now on to the points made firstly it's not absolutely critical to me to sit on multiple copies of the cards because I pretty much play just commander (and even when I'm not I don't really take the time to make it a "good" deck)and secondly while they are still in print and will for a good long time the EXP lands have started to do some stabilizing like even though Polluted Delta goes up and down from 220-180 it never really leaves that range.
Now having said that even though I sound about like I've made up my mind I haven't, I just wanted to bring up the counterpoints.

I'm not sure. On one hand, the Zendikar fetches may be reprinted soon, which will absolutely kill Tarn's current price tag.
On the other, foil KTK Delta is going to go nowhere but up. It's being opened less and is in high demand everywhere.
EXP Delta I'm not sure about. I've heard that the expedition prices are dropping, but the TCG graph has it slowly rising again.
I'd probably go for it.
