Ls1 or not Ls1

Well I have been through 2 rx7s, 1 engine on the first and 2 on my current rx7 and I am finally beginning to wonder whether or not I want to put a 13b in again. I love the rotary but based on price, a ls swap is cheaper than a fully built 13b twin turbo(stock twins) with supporting mods. I want to hear from people who have done this swap, how they like it and if there is anything I would need to be concerned about if I did a ls swap. I know everyone on this forum has thought this atleast one time throughout the history of owning an rx7 and I want to know what's the reason that justifies keeping the rotary or going ls so I can decide for myself.

Not a fan of the LS1 but I highly respect it, I say go for it if you want it. But IMHO the 20b would better suit the RX7.

Go for a ride in a mildly modified rotary FD and go for a ride in a mildly modified LSx FD and base your decision off that.
