Despatch/scudo/expert will ALL knock the socks off a connect. Had the misfortune to have to use a loan conct for a few weeks and hated it. Cab is to cramped only 1 side door (second is extra but standard on despatch, etc)
Very sluggish to.... The despatch also has a better load space....

If your looking at scudo's etc then also checkout the spec of the VW transporter. It has a shorter bonnet so more load space. And as it it rear wheel drive the turning circle is actually smaller than the Despatch. The ex-aa T4s are calvanised so much less chance of any rusting going on plus they have upgraded suspension, alternator, etc and the cpu is chipped for better bhp and fuel economy. Only drawback is usually only 1 sliding door...
