which model should i get?

Had an 09. Loved everything about it except the belt whine and clunky lower gears. Got tboned by a teenager in a truck. Since I am looking for a replacement I am wondering if it is the best nomad for my money.

Really don't want to give up the cruise or seat on the 09 but would probably rather have the shaft drive. I'm looking for any and all comparisons of the nomad models.

Thanks

All Nomads up to 09 are shaft drive. None have cruise as standard.
You can fit a throttle lock but it is not the same as electronic cruise control.
09 and up have cruise control.
