Kingbone,

being a previous owner of a Unique 427 SC, I'd say its not easy to talk anyone into selling their Unique; especially if you built it yourself and you like it. I reluctantly sold mine, and later recovered with my existing car.

Now if you are comparing your existing car to a new Kirkham 289 FIA, my first thought is these are completely different cars - in many different ways. It all depends on what you are looking for and what you expect from making the switch - if you decide to switch.

Is final cost a factor? Functional driving differences? Asthetics? Originiality? Want a small block instead? Have an itch to try something different? Want aluminum? So many variables when wondering... For me, how it drives is my #1 requirement, and looking at cost vs. function is important. One car might drive much better than the other - and a deciding factor, no matter what cost or increase. For you, it might be something completely different that motivates you to stay or switch. Just having downtime without a car for a while building the new one, is also another deciding factor to some people.

It seems to me that only you can answer this question for yourself based on what what motivates or excites you? Good Luck. Decisions Decisions...
