Their Mets career bWAR's are very close (Agee - 14.0; Carter - 11.4 - some of the very lowest bWARs among players in the Mets HOF). They're both five year Mets and as far as I know, the only five year Mets to have been inducted into the Mets HOF. No other Met HOFer had a shorter Mets career than Agee and Carter. Agee's Mets bWAR is slightly better because Agee had three very good Mets season; Carter -- just two. They were both key members of a World Championship Mets team and are both Mets WS heroes. Both were beloved Mets, among the very most popular Mets during their Mets stints. And nobody's clamoring for the Mets to retire Agee's number, who seems to have a better case than Carter.
