Not necessarily so. Cost could come into play.

I can't see the Gazza beating that my much if at all!
If that means that a Gazelle is (almost) on a par with the MD530F then one could opt for the Gazelle simply based on purchase price (= insurance / finance cost).
A quick search on GlobalPlaneSearch.com shows 7 used Gazelles between USD 250k to 650k (year 1975 - 1980 mostly). Whereby a used MD530F would set you back at least USD 1.5m for an early model (around 1987).
