Hi Roman,
Good Grief!  That's like asking ...which one of my children should I give
up?    Can't afford them all.

Roman, this is getting kinda personal.  But....being hard hearted and
cruel...can you sell one and use the funds to repair/primo the "chosen
one?"  I am partial to the 67.5 low windshield...but now I am getting
personal again.  Time for you to meditate, have a few or alot of your
favorite beers and reflect one of the greater issues in life.  Or... you
can always go inny, meany, miny, mo catch a roadster by the toe.......
Not much help, sorry.
