I'd keep the V8, because, well, it's a V8.

Dunno about that mate... i could hardly give away the 5.0 in the NC...

In my opinion, stick the ELGT's and EL leather into the EB, and keep the V8...

You already know my opinion mate! I love the EB, I think its the black windows against the maroon colour that sets it off, especially when you have the EL GT's on it! Plus the EB is a Fairmont whereas the EL is base model.
I know you had some trouble selling the EL, maybe post it in the For Sale section on these forums.

If it was a weekender, no question keep the EB, but for a daily I would personally sell the EB and keep the EL - lower kays, 6 years newer, they drive well and you have airbag/s and possibly ABS.

EL no questions, eb v8 is slower, drinks more, only benifet is noise, but the noise does not give mercy to your pocket!
