Suspension Mismatched shocks

Mismatched shocks
I've got an 03 R53 with mismatched shocks. I have yellow Koni's in the back but the orange ones in the front. Is it worth taking them out and selling one or the other so they are the same all the way around? I only use the car for a daily driver. Will I notice any difference? Is there a reason why this is a bad setup? If not, I really don't want to go through the trouble of selling them and replacing because all four are almost brand new.
Thanks for the advice!

Gen 2 MINIs just yellows and FSDs.
Just make sure they are paired, front and rear from side to side.

Why would mismatched left and right cause problems? Might not be the most comfortable thing because one side would be slightly bouncier than the other, but I don't see how it would actually cause a problem. Legit question.
