A couple more kit questions

Recently I have fallen in love with the 70's style Porsche 911 Carrera's. Due to the fact I have now seen two of them up close and personal.
My question(s) is this:
Fujimi makes what appears to be an excellent Enthusiast kit of the 73 Carrera although it is hard to find. I know most of the Enthusiast kits are fantastic so would this be a recommended kit for building? Also, I've noticed Testor's has a similar kit. Correct me if I am wrong, but didn't Testors use, some Fujimi offerings and re-box them under the Testor's name? IF so I am wondering if they are re-boxed enthusiast kits under the Testor's name since I can get those a little cheaper.

So, Anyone built either kit?
If you did build one which one and what was your impression of the kit?
Who do I buy, Fujimi enthusiast? Or Testor's rebox not knowing if it is an actual enthusiast model under a different name.

Thanks guys!
Chris

I have built the "big bumper" '85 turbo, and I also have almost all Enthu 911 kits. (got a great deal on auction)
The fit of the parts are so so, but that doesn't mean they don't fit. Some sections are broken into pieces, and that needs careful test fitting, especially the engine plumbing. I haven't built the "narrow," so I'm not sure about the 73 era, but generally, the tires and wheels are too accurate, that they look too small in 1/24 scale. I wrapped a strip of plastic paper around the wheel to make it look slightly bigger.

Testor did rebox the Fujimi Enthu kits, and if you can find it cheaper, go for it.

Like Hiro, I've built the 85 turbo. The EM series are challenging and require a high level of dedication from the builder as well.

If you get your hands on the Testors box, look for the old 'Fujimi' logo on the side, or flip it over and see if it has a parts count of 200+.
