The price difference between the 2 isn't that big.
Do valves really need reseating at 20K? My bikes had an easy life, I like to go fast but I never thrash it.

Cheers, Stu
If the valves are re-ground/re-seated, the clearances will need re-setting again after a couple of hundred miles, when they've bedded-in!
