Default New Offroad Racer - 2wd Buggy or 2wd SCT?

Hey guys.

I tried to doing a search for this, but really didn't find the info I wanted. Off the bat, let me say that I am not new to hobby level RC. I have done a little bit of on-road racing, but it wasn't really my cup of tea. Thus, I am looking to try some off-road racing, and the biggest classes in my area are 2wd buggy and 2wd SCT. I would run in 17.5 for both. From what I understand, it seems that 2wd buggy is more difficult to drive, but it teaches you to be a better driver. 2wd SCT is easier to drive, but does not teach you racing technique like buggy does.

Are my conclusions correct? Is 2wd SCT more forgiving than buggy? I have also heard that buggy is much less expensive since the cars are lighter and use smaller tires. Is this also the case?

Thanks for any info!
