I'm with you though, I have my heart set on a ERA FIA, and nothing else will do (Riverside Racer is going to be out of my price range).

Agreed. The ERA example has all the details where it counts. Just have a look at any of the cobra picture books out there and you'll see that from the interior to details like engine bay features, use of fiberglass sections as with the originals, overall stance and wheel to fender relationship...it's all there with solid engineering explainations where design methods have deviated.
These things were all important to me, and with my budget, ERA was the obvious choice. BTW, from a financial standpoint you are making a wise decision to purchase a completed car, IMHO.
