the maintenance on either of those two is pretty scarey to me.

otoh my 500sec is pretty quick and is cheaper to maintain than my diesels.

but the old 6.3s have appeal. the 6.9, unless euro, seems like a lot of bother for the performance level.

both are extremely rust prone (the older ones)

good luck
