My opinion,

The monocoque is ultimately the better option, with regard to rigidity and lightness and originality. However, once dinged, damaged or fractured watch out - the chasis rigidity will be compromised. Think about an empty can of Coke. It will support a person, but one small dent and complete structural failure!

A space frame is much safer in this regard.
A dent in the frame work is not going to be as damaging as it is to a monocoque.

I would always choose a space frame. Cheaper too!

One thing I nearly forgot! The other possible advantage, and I think this might be the best, with the mono you can talk down at the mere peasants who only have a space frame. [img]images/icons/grin.gif[/img] [img]images/icons/grin.gif[/img] [img]images/icons/grin.gif[/img]
