Default to vibrate or not to vibrate...

I had a Zen 120 pattern bird that ended its life abruptly recently thus freeing up my prized YS F120...

I've decided to transplant the motor, etc to a .60 sized Hangar 9 P-47 ARF... the ARF comes with an aluminum(ish) motor mount (solid). The Zen had a composite motor mount with a weird rubberized shock absorbing rails that the motor is bolted to and then the hard rubber rails bolt into the composite bracketetry...

The ARF instructions call for the motor hub to be 5 1/4" from the firewall... If i use the metal mount that came with the ARF I can do that but the cool anti-vibration mount would put the hub at 5 3/4" (1/2 inch too far out)...

what do you think... anti-vibration mount or hard mount
