Default Walk in Bath Tub -- Remove or Keep ??

We recently bought a home in The Villages that has a "walk in bathtub." Apparently, the one we have is recently installed and is an upgraded one that costs over $10,000 to have installed; it includes a shower and a "bubbling system" for a massaging sensation. This current home is nice yet we plan on selling it in a couple of years. Would love to hear people's opinions and experiences with: When we go to sell the home, will this "walk in tub" provide a larger buyer pool? Or are these things only of interest to a select group of people? Would the walk in tub be a negative? Basically, should we remove it and replace with a standard shower or tub/shower combo? The contractors are estimating around $5,000 to remove and replace it.
