Quality-wise, which GT40 you prefer: CAV or SPF?

Pat, my eye sees slight difference in the front and the rear. The CAV's rear droops a little lower in the back and I believe others might agree with me. Here's a thread from www.gt40s.com:

Yep, thats the one. It was hard to let the Kirkham go (they are absolute jewels), but I wanted to try something different. I will own a Kirkham again. Don't know when or what (I really like the FIA/USRRC cars), and I think that they are the best deal out there (yes, better than SPF).

That said, a GT has always been on my "bucket list," and I think that the SPF is the best fit for my current needs. I'd really like a GOX, but can't see having the time to build until retirement. Back before I bought the Kirkham, I was weighing between the two, but SPFs were so new, nobody had one, and they were an unknown quantity. I went with the Kirkham.

Sorry for the thread drift....CAVs are nice too.

Now for the fun part, adding my personal touches. I have already ordered a bunch of parts and do-dads. It should be cool when I'm finished (if ever).
