The difference between the two is noticeable but you're right, not really worth it for 200cc more, 400cc on TB's maybe

1.4 16v's aren't that much quicker than the 1.2 16v's. Defo go for at least the 1.6

The 1.6 16v isn't necessarily a GSI engine...there's the sport and the GSI, and to be honest I can't see much difference in petrol consumption between the two.

It would be more to insure, yes, but if insurance was a worry then you wouldn't be doing an engine conversion!

Will be a bit cheaper. Remember though the 1.6 is in the higher tax band
