CT Only: Which would you prefer?

I can find a big lot of ~150 cars for ~$17, but there is ZERO variety, one model in various colors. Mid-90's Econ-lump styling.
There are quite a few N scale car minis from different model train suppliers, but they are pricey.
Best I've found so far is Outland Models, They have a line of 3D printed resin minis, that are less expensive, they have a 4 car set for $6.

Not as good a "value" as the 150car lot from Amazon, but much better variety,

TTB with errata would be my first choice. There is so much errata that there would be a few more pages added.

I'm a big fan of my original Deluxe boxset. Not a fan of the staples. My original books have small pieces of electrical tape reinforcing the middle pages. The staples were bent out, tape was placed, then the staples were bent back into place.

To be honest, for reading and having on a shelf, perfect bound is good for both.

I'd love a spiral bound version of TTB for actual use.

The hardback Traveller Book is pretty table-friendly. The paperback one has the same issue most paperbacks do: They won't stay open.

I'd love to tackle The Traveller Book and do a full digital conversion with errata. But I'm just one guy in my basement doing this for fun with a very understanding wife. It took me a month of my spare time to redo LBB3 for a friend, using two kind souls from the forum as proofreaders, and that only had 2 images in it.

The one thing that really helps with these old books is machine learning tools in photo editing software. I had a friend scan the vehicle pictures from Book 3 at 600 DPI. I threw that image in Pixelmator Pro and used the 'Super Resolution" function to "machine learning upscale" the images, which really cleaned them up and got them print-ready.

Etsy is the hotspot for N Scale pre printed both civilian and military. You’ll find more variety there.

Yeah, but Etsy is kind pricey. At least 2X what the Outland minis cost.
