Thanks! Sadly, I have several examples of all of the models listed here. so there isn't really much reason for me to buy. The Seagate ST-125 and ST-225 are good drives for people who just want authenticity, and the Mitsubishis, while much faster and higher capacity, all seem to be having PCB related failures in their old age.
