OE is great, but if you know how to rebuilt a motor (or know some1 else that can) its going to be better in the end.
Hope that makes sense

yeah i guess you have a point. but sr longblocks are too freaking expensive especially when you risk getting a blown one.(guaranteed good engine is cool for like 500-800, but you're more likely to pay 1000+ with no guarantee) plus they are getting more and more rare . i dont think it's gonna go away..look at corollas. they are like 3-4 grand right now cause they are so rare. They are only going to go UP in price.
