Hi,
As a novice, I just figured that all the "bugs" (if any) would be worked out by 1930 and I would have fewer problems that I didn't know how to fix. I also felt the original stainless lights, hubcaps & rad. shell would make it easier on me as I've seen that original nickel plated lights & shells usually need a lot of work to preserve. 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.
