In short, they are a good motor to choose capable of great power and enjoyment. A little more gets you a 6.0 though and a whole lot more power. Just have to decide how best to balance your goals and bank account.
Unless the prices have come down on the 6.0's in the past few months, complete LQ4's were going for $1600-2000 and LQ9's were around $1800-2200 when I bought mine.

A 5.3 for $600 sounds like a good bargain. But if you want to make bigger power, then yes, a 6.0 is the way to go. It all comes down to budget.
