2g mistu eclipse or 6g celi Options

[DeathWing]

well here is the deal....maybe in 1 or 2 months i may have the chance to change my 6g celi st hatchback 95 (auto)for a 2g (97) mitsubishi eclipse gst(manual), i was analizing the pros and cons of the car change considerating price and stuff (if i get the eclipse i wont be able to sell it for a while), im thinking about getting the eclispe but while i decide i thought that it might be a good idea to post it here so i can read your opinions why you would or wouldnt do it...
both cars are in excellent condition
any experiences? opinions? thoughts? are welcome

(here is a list of things i consider)
-the mitsu has almost double power considerating its a lil more heavier
-mitsu engine...you cant give it even 1 extra hp or engine blows, comes to the limit, very low mechanical upgrades, in the other hand the celi is fully customisable
-the always economy vs preformance and power vs durability of components
-externally the mitsu its a lot less externally modificable
-the celi has 1 minor hit wich i think it has no colateral effect on the car, the mitsu is hit free

w/ 2g eclipses - higher mileage crankwalk is inevitible ... i highly recommend the 4g-63t motor, but if you pick up that eclipse you might want to start shopping around for a 1st gen 6-bolt shortblock, and adapter kit to hook your transmission to the new assembly - then no worries, you can do good enough fuel tuning w/ DSM-link so you dont need a full EMS ... then you have a champ of a car
