I know it's generally thought that the eco-tech engines aren't as good as the XE's but can someone tell me the pros and cons of both

Also would a later eco-tech one be more difficult to convert to a LET?

Cheers

Without knowing a whole lot about either I think the eco-tech's only 130bhp and theres not much available in way of tunning parts
