[Coco] Stacking the 6309?

Since the 6309 normally works like a 6809, why bother?

===========================================
As Kip pointed out, not everyone is comfortable removing the 6809 from the motherboard, and/or soldering a chip socket to it. I always destructively removed with no issues, soldering a socket back in is a bit harder. Of course soldering on the legs of as chip isn't much easier. The only advantage I see is it would be easier to return the CoCo to stock, but having a socket there wouldn't hurt value IMHO.
