BLI vs Bachmann Spectrum

[NW Modeling List]

I don't care for the paintjob on the BLI engine, nor the sound.  I do like the look of the Bachmann (I have one and it runs pretty OK", but have yet to hear the sound version.

I have NOT seen the BLI version. So.. I need some advice.  Which really looks more like the "J" in service.  
Don't want the excursion version.  BLI doe have the earlier version with spoked pilot wheels.  
I'm not planning for this engine to be run until it dies or anything, just the occasional run with 5-20 passenger cars behind it.  
Which version looks better, which has more accurate paint, and most reliable mechanics?
