727 or 904 which way to go

In my case I was going from a 68 318 904 to a 72 360 727. By keeping the 727 with the 360 I an reusing the factory 360 torque converter. Had I put the 904 behind the 360 I would have had to spend more to make it work. Also the 72 parts are less then the 68 parts. All in all it's a good $200 less. Like I said I went back and forth and it came down to money, the 727 is just less expensive, it came with the 360 I bought, I think I paid maybe $100 for the motor and tranny, but it might have been included with the $300 Duster I bought for the K frame-brakes setup. It's been like 6 years and I forget.
70aarcuda I wasn't trying to be an ***, I appreciate your opnion, I was just trying to be funny with the lube crack.

PS, maybe if transtar put up a regular webpage to order from or had a location within 3 hours of me, who knows. As it stands $155 shipped for a soft kit with red eagle and kolene steels seemed pretty low. Simple ordering, good price, I have NO problem with Cope.
