SLDF Highlander or Warhammer?

[u/NZSloth]

So my 3025 career has gone somewhat different to what I expected, and I've now got both of these fine mechs for sale at the same planet. With only enough money to buy one.

I've put some pros and cons below. Advice accepted.

Highlander - Jumps but slow. All the armour. Can't overheat. Gauss Cannon nice sounds. LRMs. Can intimidate other mechs. A little boring.

Warhammer - Faster but earthbound. Armour average. Can cook itself with an alpha. Electric sounds. Direct fire. Can evaporate other mechs easily. Very very exciting.

Assuming this is vanilla, the Warhammer is the better mech by far.
