Why not buy both and convert them into a Syncro Westy!!!! Add the EuroSpec engine and you'd have one nice machine, with the other for spare parts!
BTW, our family loves our Syncro Westy -- I use it as a daily driver, my wife occasionally uses it as a portable artist studio (she's a pastel artist) and my daughter uses it as a "playhouse" for her friends. And the family uses it to go 4-wheeling on the beach as well as camping in the summer and fall (we're going up to Vermont/New Hampshire/Montreal next weekend).
In short, a most wonderful machine. Nothing else like it.
Cheers, MJS
