Should you sell your $AZEK stock or let your shares rollover into $JHX James Hardie?

I am conflicted and here's why.

I invested in $AZEK for same reason I invest in Carlisle $CSL, Builders Firstsource $BLDR, and Trex $TREX because they offer proprietary products with higher margins. 

Contrast that to James Hardie which is largely commoditized products.

Not that you can't make $$$ in those, because look at Topbuild $BLD which is insulation. UFP Industries $UFPI is a mix of commodity and non-commodity products, similar to Masco $MAS. I own these 3, too.

I bought Azek at the absolute lows in 2022 and have XXXXX shares remaining at $XX. Hence, with XXX% unrealized gains, selling will be a tax hit if I sell.

But if I rollover into JHX, will its future look like its past?

-Market lagging returns last XX years
-Market matching returns last XX years
-Market beating returns since IPO in 2001

In defense of $JHX, the returns would look a lot better if they didn't just tank XX% in a week after announcing the $AZEK deal.

Thoughts?
