I'd say no, don't do it:

  • The shorter url isn't worth a lot. We're talking about a absolute minimum abount of value. Rephrazing one sentence is worth more.
  • You have collected an amount of backlinks. Backlinks have to be redirected, loosinglosing a bit of SEO value in the process, and the anchor itself loosesloses some juice
  • You give up an domain that exists for quite some time. An old domain has value as it is some indication about the reliability (based on "if it's crap, it wont last long").
  • The .supply domain isn't that common, it might confuse people
  • All the people who remember your url now remember an old url

What you can do is the other way arround, make the .supply be an alias for de .com, a little geeky extra feature.
