Non-opinionated? Yeah, good luck with THAT.

In my decision process, I went to a local Cobra club gathering. I emailed ahead, and said I wanted to see a Unique 289 FIA and an ERA 289 FIA so I could compare them. When I arrived, they were sitting side by side. I took LOTS of pictures, and ended up completely taken by the lines on the ERA car.

Secondarily, and probably more importantly, ERA's manual is outstanding. The manual I received from Unique (at the time) wasn't that detailed. If you're a first time builder, the ERA manual is what you'll need to get your car together.

Get both manuals and decide for yourself.

Go look at both, take pictures, and again, decide for yourself.

Now, the opinion: the ERA basic kit with the powder coated frame and mounted body options is the best deal in the country, hands down. Including FFR.
