Merlin vs Litespeed

My '94 Merlin Extralight cracked about a year ago. Miss that bike, after a good 70k miles!
Narrowed down my search between Litespeed and Merlin. Primarily Classic, Ultimate, Vortex, Titanium, and Extralight.
Mostly due to plentiful supply of used ones out there in my size. A few photos here, but I plan to outfit with my components.
Preference for 1" steerer, which points toward pre-00. But 1 1/8 size works fine. I run 28c tires and these models accept that size.
A few snapshots here. Vortex and Extralight more scarce. Across these models, feedback and recommendations appreciated.
