Ive spoken to a lot of people about the best way to go on this 1900 rating story. You talk to the good people of 43 and they assure you that for 50K you will be able to walk on water, talk to another DE and they rubbish the idea and say its a scam -stump up 30k do a touch and go and you're good to go!
Given the comments above it seems obvious which way to go.
