Yamaha ME421 or Volvo KAD43DP

Can anyone coment on pro / cons of these two engines.
I propose to fit into a 7.5m and would like to know peoples personal comments / findings.

Service, reliability and overall performance.

Excalibur Ribs have just fitted a Yam ME421 to a 8m Rib. Joe, the owner of Excalibur posts on here as "tsunami" may be worth asking him how they are getting on with it? Certainly sounds smooth anyway!
