I never said the 2.7 was a bad engine... But...

How many times have you heard someone say "I wish I had less power!"? Usually it is the other way around. My personal opinion is to find the most reliable engine of the group in the largest displacement. In this case, they are equally reliable, so I would spring for the 3.4.
