You have a NP242. Its hard to say which is better. An SYE is much easier to get for a NP231 which is what your buddy has. But I think the 242 is a bit more desirable because of the full time 4wd. Having worked on boh however I can say I prefer the 231 just for parts availability and the damn thing weighs less. LOL.

The np242 is nice because u dont have to stop to shift into 4wd and cause of the part time 4.
