Default d15b vtec vs. b20 non vtec

What would be the better way to go. What do you think would be a better swap as is, with nothing done. And what do you think has more potential in the long run. (dont say stuff like d15b is cheaper so do that)
I've been reading up so much on b20, and i'm pretty set on that. But sometimes i still have doubts and think i should just go d15b. I already have b series mounts and a bseries tranny. I can always sell the stuff, and go single cam vtec.

yea, ive been reading through ben ogles page, and the torque sounds like so much fun. The only main complaint i hear is the top end.
What is a good way to increase the top end power? With the ls ecu fuel cut off is at 6800 i believe, and power starts dropping off at around 6500.

And?

The import community has been duped into thinking that high RPM is necessarily good for something.

Crower 404 cams, Crower (eibach) dual springs, and titanium retainers would be a start.

A B20 all motor CRX vs. a D15 all motor CRX = D15 CRX getting ho-slapped all over the place.

Does that look like a complete motor? This is what I am going to pick up, just wondering if this looks complete. And all i will need after is a tranny.

harness, mounts, ecu, maybe axles will be needed to do the swap.

B20 all the way! More readily available parts and much more potential!

harness- i will be sending my dx harness out to rywire so they can fix that up for me.
mounts- ordered mounts from a h-t sponsor about 2 weeks ago, but haven't heard from him since.
ecu- will be running a chipped obd1 ecu
axels and tranny- already have b16 cable tranny and integra axels.
and about the intake mani, i know, i'm currently looking for a complete obd1 integra ls manifold.

but other then that, it looks pretty much complete right?
