That said, the B5 is known to be more durable than the B4, very competitive, and can be had for a very reasonable cost.
+1!
I am going on my 9th year of racing and definitely do NOT consider myself a "buggy guy". That was until I was coerced to get a B4.2 and was amazed! I have since gotten a B5 and a B5M. The B5 series is one of the most robust buggies I have ever seen. In fact I have not seen one single broken part on a B5 yet.
