Are these two buxs' worth saving?

Here are two Japanese Buxs' that were recently dug up to make way for a new hedge. There is a huge amount of die back on both, but I think that the one on your right (in the first photo) has more potential and would make a nice raft-type style, if not a very-multiple trunk style.

Worth saving?

You have other trees that you need to water anyway. __________________ "Beware of the beast of man, 'cuase he's the devil's paw." -- Planet of the Apes
