Default Sportster 2006 vs 2007

Is worth it to pay the 2K difference between this two models?
The 2006 has carburator the 2007 has fuel injection.
The 2006 I could get with maybe 5000 miles for around $ 4500; 2007 a little less milages for around $ 6500.00.

What do you think?

883 vs 1200? Not knowing, I'd say go for the 06...

$650? Really?
Being that I would never have bought a bike if it had a carb on it, I'd say go EFI.

All things being equal, I'd jump on an 06 over an 07 any day.
07 was the first year for EFI on Sporties and they have chronic "water intrusion" problems in the electrical system. Carbs are also easier and much less expensive to tune.
