Its all about the budget.The 75 series in that link probably had $50K sunk into it plus a heap of the owners time.
The good news is ,the HJ75 will go a long way with a just a mild suspension lift and some lockers.
I would get the 75 ,drive it as it is and begin a slow and methodical build up based upon your own observations and the experience you get from talking to other owners.
