if you can afford to buy a cossie TWICE then do it . if not id stick with the rst .(cant be that hard to sort and get running good)

granted 4k will get you a fair cossie and as we all know they need working doing especailly if its not been looked after before.

obivously this is my opinion but thats just how i see it . im sure you'll get more responces to this
