Sorry to hear your triumph engine has issues. Mine runs like a top, but I've got a special team of true believers at Scanwest in Seattle to keep it going. The big improvement was the 5-speed, which allows quiet, efficient highway cruising at 70mph.
I'd look at it like this: what are your driving needs/desires? Speed and power? Then the '72 isn't the answer. Short trips around town? I'd keep the '72. Btw I've got a spare Triumph motor if that helps. I like the lightweight, nimble handling, especially with 155 sr 15 tires.
But.. a low miles turbo.. sell me your '72 and buy the turbo...
Wishy washy answer but they're both cool cars..
