[s-cars] URS4 vs Biturbo S4

[Elijahallen92 at aol.com]

Try to pull the turbo off the Bi Turbo S4 in your garage in a  couple hours. 
The new S4's are just as needy and they are still pretty new  so think about 
10-15 years from now, will the be as good as all these URS4/6's  running around 
with 300+hp and near or over 200K miles? I doubt it. They just  don't make 
them like the used to and working on them yourself is very hard,  thats enough 
for me to stick to the old needy gals.

Aside  from the URS4 being less expensive due to its age why would one
choose the  URS4 over the Biturbo 2000-2003 S4?  Why would one choose the
Biturbo  over the URS4?  Why do you folks prefer the URS4 over  the
Biturbo?

I'm at a crossroads with the car.  The URS4 is a  known money pit always
needing attention.  I'm wondering if it would  be less costly in the long
run to just upgrade to a used Biturbo now or  keep the URS4 and keep
putting money into it.  Are the Biturbos just  as needy?  Does insurance
hurt more?  Is the engine as strong and  will it last as many miles as I
hear the URS4  will?

Thoughts?
