Derek reports that his 210 BHP saloon pulls well above 5500 RPM. My 194 BHP does not - this is not an engine where you accidentally hit the rev limiter in a rush of top end.... I think they must have changed the cams and the engine management for the newer engine, or freed up some restriction. Go for the later model if you can - the improved economy and resale are worthwhile. I tried a Coupe with the later engine in and it seemed to lose nothing in midrange and was a little happier to rev.
