Cameron,
Under the skin, my TR-4A solid axle scarcely differs from my TR-3A.
Nonetheless, they are very different in feel. Different rear ends,
different power and the 4 has stiff springs, as well as anti-roll bars.
Personally, I think the best compromise would be a 3 with 87 mm pistons,
anti-roll bars front and back, and a lower seat, because I stare out at the
top of the windshield.
If you can find a real clean example of either, grab it.
