The 94's can be had for $20-40 at swap meets. The 97's are four times that much for a core.

Is there a black and white performance advantage or is it a handed down legend status thing?

Just asking because I REALLY want to know.

This could end up being one of those personal opinion things. To me it's dependant on what some think is "real" traditional. The 97 was the predominant '40s standard. The 94 came along later so represents a later era. Personally the 97s I posted above are on my late '40s theme roadster. My late '50s theme '36 has a pair of 94s, but that's just me.
