If you look around you can find them both even cheaper. I bought my S5 new off E-BAY for 180.00
Both are great motors,easy to tune plenty of power, and good mileage

They like to run a bit warmer than other engines. I was always told tune by smoke not temps.Once I followed that advice the motors scream. Mine ran about 250-260.But it had penty of smoke. Sometimes trying to tune into a magic window of low 200 range does nothing give you a dog motor and a ton of frusratation.

I have had 4 different motors this year in 3 cars. They were 3 nov's and the last one was a Jammin .28. I really like the Jammin .28, easy to break-in and tune. I would buy another one when this one dies' and i want to put a .21 jammin into my buggy soon.
Good Luck with the new motor.
