I read (can't remember where, I'll check when I get home) that there
will be loads of power up crates all over the place so you'll have a
good chance no matter which unit you chose, of course, some will still
have an advantage over others, just depends what sort of power ups you
can get.  I'll find the article when I get in and post again if there's
anything else worth mentioning.
