For me it was for umph, and there is a tremendous amount more. I resisted
changing for a while (the purist in me), but finally caved a few months
back and glad I did. Parts availability for the 948 seemed to be fine,
actually. I will always keep that 948 around, but the 1275 has made the
car a much more enjoyable all around ride.
