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

I owned a 1g 1991 GS, 120k miles, prolly 5k in repairs in between 106k and 120k. Eclipses don't just break, because when one thing goes wrong, then your replace it, and then something else goes wrong. Endless cycle of replacing timing belts, alternators, window motors, seals, axels, etc oh and don;t forget about the $800 valve guides that took my old mechanic 3 months to put in. before it was my car, it was my fathers, and he drives slow....so I know it wasn't due to driver abuse....before I had it
