I agree with Doc Wayne: The game was rigged! 
I disqualified the GP20's because of notorious electrical problems. Plus wasted Horse Power on such a light turn.
The SD/GP 7's are solid work horses. Can't go wrong with either.
Also, all of this equipment is at least 40 years old... Any, or all of them could be / would be due for overhaul if you are modelling the present.
Don't know what year you are modeling and whether new equipment was coming available sooner or later.
You spoil your own arguement for the GP20's if you plan to acquire MP15DC's in the forseeable future.
