It really boils down to your personal preferences and budget. The $15k gets you a Shelby Cobra (4000 series, continuation) and a real 427 FE (not bored/stroked small block). As mentioned by others, both of these attributes will likely make the car more attractive to prospective buyers if you ever want to sell it.

I was considering both an SPF and CSX, and ended up going with the CSX (and I've been happy with my decision). Both cars will be nice, and of similar fit and finish.

Do you know the specs of the Genesis FE engine (e.g., displacement, HP, TQ)?

Incidentally, Eric at Performance Engineering used to be a Shelby CSX 4000 dealer, so he should be familiar with the CSX cars and able to do a decent job with the installation/completion (as there are differences in design and components between the CSX and SPF cars).
