Supercharged if you enjoy spending more time with a petrol nozzle in hand standing in wet windy filling stations.

Diesel means you have to check the handbook each time you need a refill, as you will have forgotten where the filler cap is since last filling up. Rolling with laughter Rolling with laughter

Supercharged.
with the mileage you plan to drive the difference in fuel cost in less than 400 pounds.

and the Supercharged engine is super reliable.

I find the diesel more than fast enough for the handling capabilities of the RRS because in truth it does not handle that well. The advantages of the speed of the SC is outweighed by the time spent in the filling station as the diesel will then sail past and may reach the finishing post 1st. It really depends on what you want it for.
