Buy the coach that is in the better overall condition and best satisfies your desires as something to live in. Yes, the Cat has more pulling power and will get you up the hills faster but the Cummins will also do the job, just not as quickly. We bought ours new and I was very concerned about the power differences between the two choices. My first trip with it, Cabbage Hill near Pendleton, OR, the pull from Ogden, UT to Evanston, WY and the "hill" just east of Laramie, WY were my test pulls. The ISB-02/2500MH combination got me up those hills, pulling a 4,000# toad quite comfortably. Not as spunky as the Corvette I used to have but faster than my Ford PSD pulling a 27' TT over the same route.
