The question doesn't make sense, why would you have to choose one over the other? What are you choosing? Neither one is being sold new (ignoring the current S/A because that's not how I interpret your Q) and each is on old pretty-nice bikes. If your point is that you want to spend on only one or the other you must be a cheapskate; the bikes with AWs or the JC Higgins AW-clone are $10.38 bikes at the Goodwill fer crying out loud.

Buy both of em . . . . hell Man, buy more than two, every time you see one grab it.
