Default ZC vs. Mini-me

Alright, this is more of an opinion question than anything else.....My completely stock 1990 CRX Si is desperately in need of more power. The two options I have available to me are the mini-me swap or a zc swap. I'd rather do the mini-me because I can get it done fairly quickly by myself. I really don't have the time or the space to do a zc swap right now, but if it came down to it I could take it to a shop. The question I have is this: The motor that I have in the car now has 240k miles on it. Is a mini-me worth it or would i be better off swapping the entire thing out for a zc? The stock motor still runs fine, but with the high miles I'm wondering if it would be better to just drop a complete new motor in there. Thanks.

Swap it.
You won't like yourself when the 240k bottom end starts to die.
You will start thinking, "Man, I wish I would have just done the ZC whe I had the chance."

Matter of fact..................it's easier to swap than doing a mini-me. You dont have to take off the head or move any sensors. Just drops right in and extend 2 wires.
