B18 Buy opinion 444-544

I have a 61 544 with a B18D. The motor runs really well, doesn't smoke, and sounds great.

I have the option of buying a rebuilt spare B18 from a reliable source for about $700. If I owned say a Jensen-Healey with the Lotus Twin-Cam I'd jump at it, but with the miles I put on my PV my current motor should last a long time and all the gaskets of the spare would probably be well dried up. I also have limited storage space. Then again, such options don't come up all the time.

What would you do?
