Default Holden SS-V Redline Ute vs FPV GT 335

Hi,

I am considering buying either of the two listed above, the Redline will cost me $1620 per month based on an average interest rate of 7.5%, whilst the GT based on Ford's latest deal being 2.9% $1700 per month. Because the monthly payments between the two are quite close, this has made the decision process much harder.

The two deals I've been able to obtain are:

2014 Holden Commodore Redline Ute Auto
Red Hot
Walkinshaw 310 pack $3750 (cheaper then the $6000 that many other people have been quoted)
Window Tint
Slimline Hard Cover
$58k Driveaway

Pros:
Stagged tyre setup, 19"x8.5" alloy wheels, 245/40 R19 Tyres (2 Front). 19"x9" alloy wheels, 275/35 R19 (2 Rear).
Latest technology (Head up Display, Park's itself etc)
AFM (some say it's effective others not so much)
Newer Car

Cons:
Not a HSV
Less power than the GT
Less resale value in the future compared to the GT?

2013 FPV GT Auto
120k's on the clock
Swift
Leather Trim and Sat Nav
Fusion Paint and Interior Protection (already were applied to the car)
Window Tint
65k Driveaway with Ford's latest interest deal at 2.9% on 2013 plated fpv's.

Pros:
The iconic GT nameplate
The 5.0 lite supercharged motor
Last GT model
Better resale value than the Redline in the future?

Cons:
6 year dated chassis with minimal changes
Interior is dated
Lacking in latest technology

What would you choose? The Sedan vs Ute argument in regards to seating capacity is irrelevant to me as I was after a Ute initially but Ford's 2.9% finance is quite appealing. I had owned an FG XR6 ute over a year back and whilst it was good, I want to get away from the rear leaf suspension setup.

Thanks.
