I also like the larger radiator.
The radiators are about the same size. The 30-31 is taller but narrower than the 28-29. The number of tubes and the number of fins and the material are the important issues. Copper "r" value is half (approximately) of aluminum.

Do not get me started on the stupidity of ethanol. I think one of the monitors is from Iowa and he will delete the thread.
