... hey, it's all a matter of personal preferences of course ... evaluate
your trade offs for yourself and get what you think is the better choice ...
and don't think twice about whether you made the right choice, no matter if
you decided to buy an S6 or a 5kFWD slusher!

I can tell you that I've driven mod'ed '91 200qs and a stock '91 V8/5-speed
... and my personal opinion is that I can't see why anyone would want to pay
the kind of money people ask for the 200/20v's when you can get a v8 with
5-speed for the same price in many cases.  I enjoy driving my QTC and my
5kCSQA ... hell, I even have fun in the lowly 4kSQ that I have at work today
... but the car that puts the biggest grin on my face is the V8 ... so I
have made my choice, and am still satisfied with it.

... you've gotta love being able to hunt for Boris too ... ;-)
