WWYD? Maclaren Stroller choice...UPDATE - Made a Choice (and a PSA)
Okay ladies, I need some help...
I have the chance to buy a Maclaren at a great price, but I am not sure what option to choose...
I can get a Triumph in Charcoal/Pink for $95
OR, I can get a Quest Mod in Coral Pink for $105
I think I want the Quest, but I am a little concerned about the color (brightness and how quickly it might show dirt)...
Any advice?? Which would you choose??
TIA!! 
UPDATE:
I went with the Triumph, based on color and mostly on the great reviews of the ladies here...I am so excited!!!
If anyone else is interested, I purchased it on ebay - the seller supposedly has like 20 more...they are selling for $95 FREE SHIPPING....if you want the Quest- it's $105 with Free Shipping...
Thanks again ladies!!

What's the difference between the two? I have the Quest but not a huge fan of it.

From what I can tell, the Quest is about a pound heavier, but it has 4 recline positions, and the adjustable footrest...the Triumph says "multiple" seat positions (I am assuming two or three) and the footrest isn't adjustable...plus it's a bit lighter...Other than that, they have the same features...

The quest is a step up from the triumph so that would be my choice - but honestly I'm not a fan of the quest either I have the black quest mod now - I use it on occasion and it is fine for quick errands but I don't think DD is very comfortable in it.

Re: WWYD? Maclaren Stroller choice...
I have a Quest from 2005 and I am really not a big fan...ds doesn't seem very comfortable in it and never really was.
The triumph has a shoulder strap which is convenient...
The extra recline pos on the quest does not put it very far back at all - I have never tried out the recline on the triumph but I'm sure it's not a big great diff... The leg extension part on the quest is also very unimportant and we never really used it...
Not to confuse you more but are there any great deals on Maclaren Techno XT's? They are somewhat heavier but steer nicer as a result and have a full recline... I wish I had gotten that instead of the Quest - I think we paid $199 for our quest and the techno was $75 more...
Personally I would go for the triumph... Personally I find the carry strap feature on the triumph very good...and it would be great if you ever want to travel with it...
