down to my two options for excavator

I really don't think you can go wrong with the currently available excavator models. It's all about your intentions and expectations for the model. The Vario is awesome but it's lacking big time in the scale detail department compared to the Premacon offerings. Most people would probably be very against or unable to transport the Vario around. I don't like to carry it too far by myself.
