Great question, I opted for both, I just bought this 1987 Bronco EB with 56K original miles from the original owner for 3000.00 It is perfect but has just a few paint issues.
I 100% do not trust the lives of my family ALONE in the Landy on LONG trips. My wife drives the Landy. The ride is perhas the most comfortable I have ever been in. Nothing compares the ride of a stock Disco 1.
But lets get real.
I liken the blazer to the bronco....same genre
My bronco has a flawless 351 4V HO, C6 tranny, 8.8 rear axle with LSD and a Dana 44 front with a powertrax unit in it. The room inside far exceeds the Landy. It runs 31x10.5 tires the landy cold only dream of having. Drums rear disc front still outperform the landy.
Fuel economy for the much more powerful 5.8 is near identical to the landy and almost 2 liters larger with a carb!
parts costs are nothing! they still make all the parts needed for it top to bottom.
The systems are simple and flawless.
All the above are identical to your Blazer.
So why the Disco for me? Dunno. I like a challenge. its a cool rv. love the drive.
