they are both decent radios, Lafayette has the edge on it for me, smaller more coverage. And nice tone on them.westland would be easier to mod as has normal switches, Nick says the 1005 switches are
Kill em all and let god sort them out.

If you like meters as opposed to fairy lights, that could make a difference.
I always liked the look of the old Cybernet Beta 3000, so I was immediately a fan of the 1005, whereas the Westfield is larger and a bit ugler in my opinion. It's colourway may not be to everyone's taste either.
I bought both radios myself as they're usually both hard to come by as a rule.
