Default 390 / 428 owners

Posted here some months ago, still not decided on an engine. (well the new car package only arrived 3 weeks ago).

I'm not in the market for a 427 S/O or T/O, as these are out of my budget. I was planning on a 390/406, but now i might be tempted to go for the 428 (I like the idea of the extra cubes).

Some quick questions...

390/+ owners:
why did you go for the 390 instead of one of the other (larger) FE variants?

428/+ owners:
why did you go for the 428 instead of one of a smaller Cu in engine?

would i notice a difference in performance/mpg etc on like-for-like basis, based purely on the extra few cu in?
is it worth the extra $$$$?

cheers,
Kevin
