914 vs 911, No, not a race Options

[scrz914]

Ok, I know some of you drive/have 914s and 911s. As this is a 914 forum everyone, I'm sure, has a strong opinion about their 914s. I'd like to hear some. What are the advantages of the 914 over the 911. Why did you choose a 914? $$$?, the people?
I know that people tend to dog the 914. Since I bought my first 914 in October I have growing respect for it. But now I have a chance to get a 911 for a good price, but I still day dream about my 914. Hmm...maybe I should keep both...naw, too expensive.
Seriously, I'd like to hear what people think of 911s compared to the 914.

I've had a couple 9elebens. The last was a 73T with a 2.7 CIS motor and fairly well prepped, suspension wise.

At the same time, my 914 had a 2.4L T 6er and mildly reworked suspension, brakes....yada..

2 old cars and one old fart meant that I was spending all my time and money on em'......one had to go. I enjoyed driving the 914 more....more responsive....connected to the road, if you will.
The 911 was a bit faster and a LOT better looking.
I had less money in the 911 but it was worth more....sad, but true.

Cash from the sale of the 911 provided for a horsepower infusion for the 914 and it's been down hill ever since. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif)
