Hey Brad,
From my limited experience, I think HC is the best. I just bought a Baby there and am thinking of doing the same as you with respect to a 714 or 514, except I'm not that keen on the cutaway as well as the onboard juice.
For getting older models without electronics the challenge increases to find any at a dealer, although I've found an 814c ('97) at one in Massachusetts that I'm pondering.
Good luck.
Jay
