Thank you for your comments!
Depending on the source, the cost difference between a D2 and D4 looks to be anywhere from a couple hundred bucks to nearly double.
So I think if I were to buy a new one, I'd probably go with the D4. Looks like you can sometimes find a used one here and there, though, and D2s are probably more plentiful.

My 1985 is running the Espar D2 and the rear heater. The stock rear heater is so nice to have while driving in winter conditions I couldn't justify it's removal.
The D2 can run fine while driving, but I prefer having the simple coolant heater for that. My D2 is perfect for supplying heat once stopped.
Lost space isnt too bad either as the D2 is pretty compact. I installed it on the right side of the coolant heater. and still have lots of storage space. |
