I find the main difference as noted by Greg is the suspension...especially with a cross or head wind. My buses would tend to wander and required more work to steer in general. I also never liked the seats in the buses I had. I was amazed at the difference between the two...for me it was a comparison between a 78 panel bus and my 86 syncro westy. I was sad to see my panel go because I did like to drive it in town...but I don't miss it like I thought I might. BT |
