Should I sell SWPPX to buy SPY for covered calls?

I hold SWPPX long term but can’t sell covered calls on it. Thinking about selling some to buy SPY so I can run weekly/monthly covered calls. Is giving up pure buy-and-hold compounding worth it for call premium? Or is it better to keep SWPPX and only use a smaller SPY position for covered calls? Looking for real experiences. Thank you!
