For the best, perhaps.  The considered opinion of the UK Committee is that the 
20v represents only a small incremental improvement over the MB (TORSEN) model 
and commands an unjustified premium.  The MB is _much_ easier to work on, a 
great deal simpler at the top end, and almost the same power and torque.

The 'great leap' is between the WR and MB engines, not between the MB and RR.

(For our North American lister friends - this equates to the difference 
 between the MC-2 and the 3B engines.)
