Default Pros & Cons of the 2.9 V6 Cosworth?

Hi all,

As above really. Im on the look out for a doner in good nick and i keep finding the Scorpio 2.9 24V V6 Cosworth going at really reasonable prices - only between £50 - £100 more expensive than your average Sierra.

Im really just trying to decide whether to go for this car as a doner or stick with the sierra.

Pros...
200 bhp on tap
V6 Burble
Cosworth cool factor
More or less similar cost to Sierra

Cons...
Auto Gearbox
Not as simple to fit
Bad fuel economy
Could offset handling? (at a guess id say this would be heavy)
Trouble when trying to insure (Will likely be 21 when trying to insure this - 20 just now)

Any help would be great.
