GasGas15 vs Beta 15/16....

[lonetree]

so im looking at upgrading bikes from old 09 GG which i love.. i have a 250 and a 300....
ive found , what i think is a reasonably priced (for australia) 15 GG 300E with 6 hrs but a lot of hard parts....
i also have access to a 15, 250 with about 35 hrs but its stock and a bit cheaper....
some of my friends think i should get a BETA instead....
i have played a bit with a new one and yes its a nice bike,... but im not convinced....
there are a few things GG do better, spark plug access for a start.....
the factory seems to be getting ready to go back on line... and there is still good support.....
i know i wont get as good resale but i generally ride my bikes till their done....
any thoughts or comments..?
(i am possibly looking for a biased response here....)
