Which gearbox to use? Lt85 or Lt77s?

Morning Guys,

I'm currently starting putting together a V8 defender, I have sitting on the garage floor both a Lt85 and Lt77s both V8 varieties.

I know the LT85 is super strong but agricultural but is the Lt77s much better?

I never found my LT85 very agricultural.

Ok it's no super slick 6 speed CLK box, but perfectly good enough for LR speeds.

I'd prefer the 85 over a 77
