Another consideration: A lot of engines work well for the first 2 gallons. So, you get a lot of those "HEY! ______ Engine is SOOO SMOOTH, GREAT POWERBAND, DIALED!!!!" comments for nearly any engine. What you want is an engine that still runs well 6,7,8 gallons in. Those are the ones that have the best value in the long run.
Right... in other words, what does the average user get out of it?

I found VSPECS ran great but didn't last long, at least not in a truggy.

Had an RB before that lasted a long time.

Have an Alpha Plus now, 2 gallons and still isn't even really broken in. (VSPEC was DONE at 3 to 3.5)
