And a five speed really adds to the enjoyment of the car.

Maybe it's a broad generalization, but it seems to me that a very large amount of the ERA's that I've seen on the market in the past few years have been built with 428's.
However, if you have a tight budget, and want an FE, then the 390 is the way go.
