15T or 19T Motor???

Hi all,

Thanks for a great site and resource.

I bought a Tamiya Blazing Star some months ago, and it really ignited my interest in R/C again.
When I was younger I used to have a Tamiya Frog so a buggy was the only alternative.
After playing around with that, I discovered the touring cars available.
Found a NIB Subaru WRC 2004 on a TT-01 chassi on ebay and I also bought some other hop-ups straight away..
Race Ball bearings and a Novak XRS ESC and a Power Capacitator.
The ESC can handle motors down to 15T.
I'm currently thinking of buying a new motor too and I have found one Team Orion 19T and one Peak Racing Vantage 15T.
So, to the question!
I recently read somewhere else that a 19T motor would be the best allround alternative, so I'm leaning towards that, but the little boy in me is screaming, 15T!!! 15T!!!
The 19T gives both good torque and speed, and the 15T gives better speed... as I understand it!?!
Whick one should I choose??
