Mercury 75 4S versus the 75 Optimax

I'm going for a Princecraft 164SS and would like some advise on the choice of motors, I'm not experienced on this size, just sold my 14' boat to move up.

I have a 75 optimax and love it. I know the 4s are really quiet but the opti really isnt that bad and is very good on fuel consumption. I cant speak for the 4s but they seem good as well.

Here's one for you Princecraft lovers out there. I came accros this opportunity to purchase an 06 Princecraft 166 Pro with a 90 Optimax for about the same amount as the 09 164SS with the 75 4S. The 166 however is out west and it's going to cost upwards of 2k to get it back to Ontario. I think the 166 is the better boat but is it worth the effort to get it, oh and it has only 20hours on it.
