Keep prior agent?

A few years ago we used an agent to buy our current home. He did a good job and has a couple of times since then given us comps for various things.

We are now thinking of selling our house. I looked up that agent's listing and very few are for a house similar to ours. Our house is high end for our area and most of his listings are for houses listing for about half as much. However, I know he has acted as seller agent for higher end houses and does do a lot of acreage sales. Our house is on acreage.

There is another agent in the area who is very dominant in higher end houses on acreage. This person has assistant who do various things, such as a full time stager, etc.

I am really torn as to whether I should give the prior agent a shot at selling the house. On the other hand we want to sell quickly and want our best chance. This is a mild seller's market but custom houses on acreage can take awhile to sell.
