What crane would you pick?

Hi all, my boss is about to buy an other crane, used this time, and due the location and for the easy way to ship it over, we have just found two options in Europe, one of them is the Liebherr 1200 and the other is the 872. Here is the specs for both, is anyone there who can tell me which one would you pick and how much would you spend? Liebherr 872: http://www.italiantrivelle.com/const...-used-136.html Liebherr 1200: http://www.mascus.com/construction/used-mobile-cranes/liebherr-lr-1200/bf9pfhii.html Thanks in advance.

    I run a ltm1220 and love it. If you can score one that has the outrigger control pad and not the remote with low hours get it! It is quicker to rig in/out and you can use all funtions in the upper, while running outriggers with the lower. The 1220 is a 265 ton, i dont know if the 1200 is the same rating & boon or not.
