I had the same problem 2 years ago. The fact that the Locosts are getting kind of old helped me decide on the Haynes, The fact that a well established mx5 design is fantastic as in my mind these are the best donor around today.
The looks are not too wide when you see them in real life. To fix this i added an extra 175mm to the engine bay to stretch it out a bit more(not that it needed fixing!) In my mind the Haynes has way more pros than cons compared to the locost. Also the community is fantastic! You should come to Stonleigh show and see some in the flesh. Im hoping to get my one down there un its unrunning state

I can't speak for talon but I bought a chassis from Saturn with wishbones the quality was great every component has fitted first time I bought a chassis really because I felt I didn't have the space to build the chassis

Keep this under your hat, close to your chest and super hush hush but I have a 15% off sale on chassis'ies'es running on ebay untill wednesday SSSSHHHHH don't tell any body
 Also has any body mentioned that a chassis will go on a car roof rack so collection is not as much of a bugger as people think it is.

I drove a westie with a live axle <escort> and although it was ok I thought the unsprung weight of the axle was far to much for the car to the point that it was intrusive. The later ones with the sierra running gear ride much better but thats just me talking about a car for the road, track might be different.

...and a well setup Roadster will run rings around a standard locost.
All depends on time and cash.
