Monument Valley or float trip in Page?

For our next Utah NPs trip next year, I am still trying to cram in 14 days as much as possible. We are planning to see GC, Antelope Canyon, Arches and Canyonlands, Capitol Reef, Bryce and Zion. Flying in and out of Las Vegas. We are in our late 30s, enjoy scenary and photography, short/easy hikes.
Based on everybody's recommendations here, I recently added 1 more day in Zion (we have 2 and a half days in Zion now) but had to cut that day from somewhere else. Well, that was the float trip in Page day.
Now, I have second thoughts...if you'd have to choose between the float trip or seeing Monument Valley, which one would you choose?
Thanks all

For me, a no-brainer: Monument Valley. Make early reservations at Goulding's Lodge and then make sure you get up before dawn, go out on the balcony and watch the sun come up over the monuments. It's a memorable experience.

That's a hard one. Which ever you choose will be a great experience!

Thanks.
We'll probably stick with Monument Valley. And we have 3 nights in Moab after that, so maybe we can do some rafting there. I know, it's not the same as the float trip, but I'm sure any 'water experience' we'll be welcome after so much desert
Thanks again

Smart decision. The boat ride on the lake is nice, but as you say, you can take similar rides elsewhere....but there's only one Monument Valley!
