11 shank IH 6500 vs 14 shank WFE 435?

IH is feild ready, Can get for $6000, WFE 435 needs a couple disc bearings, and a few 4" twisted shovels should be replaced, think i can get for $5500. I would be pulling with a healthy 4490 Case 4x4. I would say the White would be a better match sizewise. Also, it seems like the white is heavier and would have deeper fracturing capabilities. I have soils ranging from light sand to heavy black dirt, and some ground with alot of clay. I know a few areas need some good fracturing as they do not drain well, and roots do not seem to penetrate the hard pan. Any opinions on these tillage machines? The IH has singles, the White has waling tandems.
 
Can you raise the disks on the IH like on the WFE? Big advantage to lift them when not needed, like on SB stubble......walking tandems are nice too. I run a single axle 12 shank WFE with a JD 4450 MFWD.
 
Get the White. The only downside to either is they are not the most heavily built for tough stoney conditions.
