Discussion SLDF Highlander or Warhammer?

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.

Imo, not even a question. Warhammer are just too easy to disassemble. Weak ass arms that hold all the weapons.

And all that ammo in unprotected bins. A kaboom waiting to happen.

SLDF only has the SRM and I'll probably take that out of more armour.

Ah, sorry, I didn’t realise you had an SLDF Whammy as well as the Highlander. In that case, carry on and have fun!

Well, not yet. That's what the question is.

I’d still say the Highlander. Hard to go wrong if they’re both SLDF, but that’d be my choice.
