Oops -- that's 200cc more in the 2.1.  Yeah, I can see that being
"noticable" though still not really significant, depending on what else
was done with the 2.1 model to get more power out of it.

I wonder how much extra power the 2.1 has?  I mean, it's only an extra
20cc.  That's like a chain-saw motor.

$100 for a core is not bad, depending on what all it needs.  Try to find
out as much as you can before you start spending money, so you don't end
up hundreds of dollars into the project before discovering some kind of
back-breaking problem.
