Which one should I get?

I found a B235R from an '01 Viggen (like mine) with 15k mi. It includes motor, tranny, turbo. Price is $2500 + $300 shipping.
Locally I found a B235E (from a '00 9-5 LPT), I'm pretty sure its the same basic motor. It doesn't include trans (auto anyway), no turbo (its the wrong turbo anyway). Price is $2100, it is local so I could go pick it up no shipping.
The difference in price ends up being $700, but I would get a turbo (ready to get redone to support more power?) and a spare tranny (do you think I'll need a spare?).
I thinking the extra tranny may be good to have around, it may very well become the next weak point.
What d'ya think?
