Default What engine for a Platt P51?

Well, the subject says it all. What motor would be best for the Dave Platt P51? Platt recommends the Moki/Mark 1.8. I live at 5400 feet elevation and I don't want an anemic performer so I'm considering the the Moki 2.1 as well. But somehow that seems like overkill. The Platt kit is just a touch smaller than the Top Flite giant P51. What motors are used in this kit? The Platt should be able to be kept under 19 lbs.

I've always been a glow fuel guy but I suppose I would consider gas as well.

Please help me decide.
