Pros and Cons 2004r Vs.700r4

I'm looking for the cold hard facts on what good and bad about the 2004r and 700r4 transmissions, in stock form.

so far this is what I've got

700r4:

Pro:

overdrive, low first gear, removable tail-housing, torque arm mount, low first gear, plenty of cores available.

cons:

big jump from first to second, finicky TV cables, no WOT 4th gear.


2004r:

Pro:

smaller jump from first to second, higher overdrive, and WOT 4th gear IIRC.

cons:

no torque arm mount, pan drop to change speedo gear, finicky TV cable.



anything I'm missing?

Thanks-

Eric

The older low performance versions did not have WOT to 4th gear, it is an easy fix with a newer 700R4 (if it doesnt have it already).
