I'm using PayPal Express and PayPal IPN, should I remove PayPal IPN?

I've been using PayPal IPN since the beginning and I just installed the PayPal Express module.

It seems to me that having both is redundant and probably I should remove PayPal IPN. It looks kind of ugly having two paypal options during the payment selection step of the checkout process.

So is this the right thing to do, disable/remove PayPal IPN if I'm already using PayPal Express.

Thank you for your suggestions.

If you don't require it for any particular reason, remove it.

Thanks, I will remove it.

I'm curious though, is there really any reason why someone should have both installed?
