I liken the 1700 to be just a 1600 "with mongrel". If you can afford it make the change.

Yeah I gotta agree, not much difference between the two and if you install the 1700 cams only I reckon you get 99 percent of the gains with 50 percent of the cost if you do it as part of the 20Km (12K mile) service.
