Default Cast Iron Tub, keep it?

Remodeling my bathroom. Tub weighs maybe 250-300 lbs. Do I keep it for
future casting projects? Is this the right kind of cast iron?
I can cut it up with either my 12 lb. sledge or my plasma cutter. Storage
of the pieces would not be a problem. Alternatively I could drive it to the
iron monger and pick up maybe $20.

Thanks

If it looks scruffy but isn't broken, get it re-enamelled or epoxy coated.
Then keep using it. They are far more comfortable than the modern stuff.
