041 heads vs 993

I can get either one of these heads at a good price. The 993 are rebuilt for $160 and the rebuilt 041s are $400. I currently have 882s. I am leaning toward the 041 with a thick gasket to keep compression low. I don't want to burn premium fuel. Would I be better off going to the 993s?

Unless they have hardened seats installed. Neither will hold up to use with unleaded modern fuel. You would be better off with the 882's.
