Bly,
I would not base any decision on instruction manuals. I've yet to see one I am impressed with. Also, most builders like to find better ways to do things during their build anyway. My instruction manual went out the window the 1st week.

Regarding help during your build, if that is important to you, I suggest that you choose a kit that has a very active builders forum. The Lonestar forum is a great asset during the build. Factory Five has such a forum, and I think Hurricane does too.

Best of luck with your decision.
