I would have to agree 100%.
I have two of them and just love it.

Only the older '83 have problems.  My late '83 with newer fuse box has had no electrical problems at all in 2 years I have owned it.

THe switch is easier than if you had a type 44.
4kq is basically an Ur-q without the turbo or 5 bolt suspension.
Otherwise pretty much same thing (especially from inside).

Hope this helps.
