Default Kit Difference between RCR40 & SPF GT40

One of these days I may actually finish off my Kirkham and I've been thinking about buying a GT40. RCR advertises their deluxe kit for $42,000 and the SPF GT40 is on sale for $75,000, although I have seen the SPF's discounted on eBay.

I'm curious about the difference between the level of completeness of the kits. Looking at Dean Lampe's beautiful RCR40, he and his friends appeared to perform a significant amount of work on Dean's RCR, although I do realize a lot of that work was to make it track ready for Dean's racing prowness.

The SPF appears to be delivered complete sans engine, exhaust and transaxle. Besides the Shelby/Safir licensing fee, what else do you get with the SPF that you don't get with the RCR? Thanks in advance for your time and consideration.
