and the "best" ZX line engine would have to be: Mega ZX12 DSII Legal Race

But its up to you if you want to make Mega all just one line.
Thanks for letting me know about the Cera IFMAR. I didn't realize that it just came out.

Quite honestly, I really didn't think of breaking it down into engine lines. I was thinking more along the lines of, "If you had to choose an engine between brands, what would your best choices be from each manufacturer." That might be too narrow of a focus, as each line within each brand brings something to the table - but it seems to me, that people primarily own or use only one engine and don't choose an engine for a particular track or operating conditions (i.e. temp/humidity) - but that's just my impression.

Based on performance, why would you choose the ZX over the MF?

In the Novarossi line, why would someone choose a PLUS12-3SCT over an N12LS3 or the new 353?

What do you think? Perhaps "second choice" or "alternate choice" might be appropriate - but I would have to think about it.
