Old Fuji's are a dime a dozen. A chrome Paramount is outrageously expensive and rare. They're just not even in the same league. Mod the Fuji and lovingly restore the Paramount.
Outrageously expensive, yes. Rare, no (as a matter of fact, I'd classify them as unusually common).
That said, I think you're missing the point a bit - you can't screw up the finish on an all-chrome Paramount if you want a chrome finish - the thing is already all-chrome.
