851 SP3 or 916 SP3

I've always wanted a 916 SP3.

Forza Italia at Silverstone have a nice one at reasonable money.

The only way I can buy it is to sell or p/ex my 851 SP3.

So : 851 or 916?

I've replaced the lost fairing fasteners with gold ones for the moment, until I can get some black ones (Nelly's got some I think).
