Trevor,
I doubt I have superior knowledge to you in any part of the Cobra world! Next time you come across the pond, I will be happy to go for a drive with you...maybe we could even sneak up Squaw Peak in one of the lightweight big blocks. Maybe we can even get you to come out of the closet!
Frankly, I love them both; but, for very different reasons. The lightweight aluminum big block accelerates like an F-18 off of an aircraft carrier's catapult. It is just the biggest, baddest, meanest, monster out there. When people pull up beside you in their hot rods...they take one look, and nod their heads with a respectful smile.
The ultra light 289's with aluminum heads and flywheels feel like...well, the only think I have ever driven that compares is a shifter cart.
Now, what on earth are we going to do if someone comes out with an affordable aluminum block 302 and throws another 75 pounds out of the equation!!!
