Not Ranked
I will second the nice job and add my .02 anyway. Hey, electrons are cheap.
When doing my research I narrowed it down to the same two makes. ERA primarily because I was seriously considering doing a 289 FIA. A reality check indicated that I was not going to finish a car in anything resembling a reasonable time frame. I wanted to own a car to drive NOW, not in a year or two.
Do you want to build it or drive it NOW?
Really take the time to talk with owners of both in person and crawl around the cars making a point to look at specific things. It is too easy to get caught up in ooooing and aaaaahing over the engine and paint.
What have your local mechanics and shops worked on if that is a factor.
If you want to drive it NOW and are considering an ERA, then you must balance the ERA builder's ability against a factory of professionals and the local SPF dealer and the support they will provide. I have heard the ERA factory provides good support as well.
