Dumb question: '86 SPG or '93 CE ?

I'm hoping you guys can offer some input and help me decide...
I find myself at a crossroads: I can either "restore" my current '91 Turbo (mechanics are fine, but needs paint, interior, etc.) or I can look at upgrading to another 900 - but I'm having a hard time deciding which one to go after (all things being equal, i.e. mechanically sound, body/interior in great shape, same mileage, etc.)
After looking around a bit, I see I can get a decent '86 SPG for about the same $$ as a decent CE (which I've always been intrigued by).
I'm leaning towards the SPG (lust towards it actually), because I've owned an '86 turbo before and it turned out to be the best 900 I've owned over the years (including ones driven by my wife and kids, I've had about 8) if it hadn't had so much rust/rot, I'd probably still have it.
but I'm guessing some would say that in the long run the '93 would be a better investment - just don't know what kind of experience folks have had with the 'newer' CE.
any thoughts?
