It's a horse apiece as far as speed is concerned, since they are both direct in high gear. As mentioned, there is a bit of charm involved listening to the music from a spur gear! Once you get the hang of shifting it, you won't even need the clutch, just get a feel for the right rpm and shift, like a semi.
