See if you can get extended test drives in each from a dealer - couple of days so you can see what they're like. Usually demo vans will have all the bells and whistles too so you can see which would be useful and where you can save on options you won't use. I know Renault in Willenhall do it as I had a Master for 3 days.

Depends on your work, I love my Partner but Expert can manage Two pallets.
Im in a 14plate partner, and I have to say its a good van for what I use it for. I had a 500kg pallet in it last week and still drove like it was empty. Experts are good vans for the extra loading space. Its like phil says, all depends on what kind of you do. No point getting the expert if you never fill it.

Thanks Phil and Darren. What sort of mpg are you getting, I am hoping to start quoting for larger loads and maybe euro work that's the plan anyway so maybe the larger van makes sense. As it stands at the moment since the caddy went tits up I have been using the estate car but lots of people don't take you seriously they want to see a van.
On avg about 45mpg I think. I done a job from manchester to heathrow, then onto slough then to liverpool then back to manchester, doing on avg 70 mph, filled back up at manchester cost me £58 in deisel.
