Does anyone know if the 1VZ-FE is a better motor than the 2VZ-FE? Or if anyone here has one?

What's your definition of better?

Its the JDM 2.5L version of the 2vz-fe, effectively.

Why are you asking?

I've been thinking of buying the motor to replace my current 2VZ-FE. I was wondering if the 1VZ-FE was more reliable because I've read many forum threads on other sites complaining about the 2VZ-FE and I myself am having some issues with it. I know the motor is a bit weaker and parts may be hard to get though.
