Default Cermark pitts use YS 120fz /saito 180??

I have a Cermark pitts that I am putting togeather and have both a saito 180 and YS FZ 120. The funny thing is that they both weigh the same and swing the same props. The saito will swing an 18x6 but other than that they appear to be equal according to my manuals for both. What would you guys do?
I am wanting to add smoke, at least down the road as well. They are both good motors and run really well.

Since you have both and they both run well, it looks like it's up to a coin toss!

There is a guy in our club who has been flying these for years with ys fz120's.. Perfect combination and has almost the power of a 180. Plenty of vertical.

Would the 120fz have unlimted? I am hoping for 11 to 11.5 lbs...I was also thinking that the 180 might be more of a fuel hog and then I might need a bigger tank. I wish there was a fuel tank manufacturer that made a fuel/smoke oil tank combo that was partitioned off so you would save space and potential weight of the tank.
