L33, whilst I alas do not posses the means to purchase either variant, I am not sure it is a financial based choice you should be contemplating. I realise that the sums involved are large and that due care is needed in any purchase, but the value of one over the other is not something that can be rationalised as your criteria will differ from all others. Collectively if prices are higher for a max, then that kind of answers your question....yes they are worth more. If the real question is will you aprechiate the extra £20k, then only your decision criteria can judge.

Drive both and decide on which you really want/desire more?

Today I learnt that a 205 Gti sold for £31k...........to make my point, I see that as stupid, but someone somewhere sees it very differently.

Ps, I think there is a French registered LHD aeromax for sale, black with gold roof, being sold in Holland by "Big boys toys" 0031332537766...price on application, 1700km on a 2010 plate.
