Icon2 Build my A6 or build a Z6 Minime

So, I've found a head and all needed to build a minime on my A6 with Z6 head.
What would be better? Putting the $$$$ I would spend on building the minime into my A6? I've been reading a lot of info on both and it seems the A6 can go a long ways as it is.
The plus side on the Z6, increased CR and a built in cam that automatically changes cam lobe profiles....
Ive got a DC header and an Iceman intake with new waterpump and a Gates timing belt. Its pretty fast I can turn 80 in third at ~6K. Ide like some more and am considering this swap.
Any suggestions? Im asking the all powerful forum for advice.

This is in a 90 hatch Si. I bought a full Urethane kit off ebay and have the sway bar done so far. I've also added Function Forum F2s. Lowered and need a camber kit bad. My tires are suferin. Have a rear disc conversion off a 91 CRX Si I pulled out of Pick N Pull in San Jose yet to install but have my Urethanes intalled already. Just really need an Integra emergency brake cable to get the parts complete to start the install. Also pulled some Civic EX calipers to convert to larger breaks in the front. Rolling on Konig Heliums (11lbs for a 15" rim) wrapped with Kumho Extcas. 195/55/15s. Keeps the same tire diameter as stock so dont have to worry about speedo changes.

I have to fix my exhaust first. I just busted my DC header right at the union of the 2:1. I think its going to be $$ to fix. Which puts another question to the all powerful forum. Could excessive motor movement from torque cause this to happen. Am I going to have to get Urethane motor mounts to prevent this from happening. I like this header as it has the California BAR stamp on it.

On top of all that I have a B series LSD tranny I bought in the 408 (needs rebuild) and the neighbor behind me has a B16A in a box with a rebuilt head. Im salivating over it as they broke up and the motor is just sitting there.
Not looking to build a race car just a quick street car or autoxer.
