I'm preparing to tighten up my lineup for the November sale. Can anyone think of a solid reason to own both a Cutlass Black and a Mercury for non-pirate activity? I own a Black as a "Freelancer with a view" type ship, but it sounds like the Mercury could fill that role with more cargo data running.

The Black kinda-sorta fits a Cyclone with the jump seats pulled up, but after trying it last night in the PTU, it was still way too tight getting in and out for me to feel comfortable using the Black for that as I suspect internal collisions are going to cause damage later on. That removes one of the reasons I might have kept it in spite of the Mercury.

Edit: Thanks for the great discussion everyone. I'll be holding on to my Cutlass :)
