I would go with the 4 stroke for the long run. OPTI's worry me with all of the compressor issues I've read about, and air injector problems once they get some hours on them. The weight difference between those 2 engines isn't much(about 25 pounds according to the MERCURY site), and either one will put you about 100 pounds heavier than your current 2.4L. The OPTI will probably be better on fuel, but for the long run I would want the 4 stroke.
