Britax Vigour 4 (2009 model) vs. Pliko Switch?

DH and I are stumped - he likes one and I prefer the other.

Pros and cons of each, anyone? As far as we can tell, both do all the same stuff - from birth without separate carrycot, can face forward or rear, takes car seat onto chassis, relatively the same in terms of weight (pliko slightly lighter at 10+kg, while Britax is 11), fold with seat unit on...

Help us decide!

I have the Britax, older model though, and have loved it. So, the newer model will be even better as I believe they have improved a few things. The carrycot attachment is worth getting though as it is lovely for a new born.
that's if they still do them. Mine is 2.5 years old now. Can't compare it to the Pilko though, but just thought it might be worth feedback anyway from someone who has used the Britax.

pliko car seats are rubbish. plikos also have small wheels which make then VERY heavy to push a toddler in. Also, the fold is not very easy, and certainly not one hand. Also harder to push one haned due to the two handles, however easier to hang shopping. Never had a britax, but they look lovely and have great reveiws. The only really big plus to the pliko is the sunshade.
