Thanks for the info guys, just what i needed, a convo with people who have driven both.

Yes the power delivery of the ED30 engine is great as the torque comes in with great big rush about 2500 rpm and makes it feel really quick

Did a short trip yesterday was stuck behind lots of cars on a B road and didn't have the opportunity to overtake so decided to drive like a Granny to see what mpg I could get and averaged nearly 49 mpg. This engine is amazing, incredible economy and power when you need it!
