Both of those are cheap-charlies. One of them weighs 65 pounds. Good luck getting things fixed when they start to break down. Where do you take them? (Or, maybe you're handy with mechanical and electrical things?)

Do you really need those gigantic tires? Handy for snow or deep sand, but way overkill for anything else, and the parasitic loss does nothing but drain the battery.
