Roadster, I miss a rollbar, not certain if I can retrofit an FIA style into it. Might have to reach out to Ross Henry to see if it's economically feasible.
FIA, the air cleaner, yes, really 
Both cars are fantastic to drive, clearly the FIA is a bit more my style, but I actually like the way the original style suspension of the roadster gives more of a true "cobra" feel, maybe a mental flashback to my days driving TR3-TR6's and early MGA's, skinny tires and all. Tough for me to get a handle on as to my true "wants and needs" right now, which is why I started this thread to have you guys hopefully help sort it out with me, or at least make me digger deeper in to my own mind.
Thanks for asking and making me think a little more.
Bill S.
