Good to hear from you again mate - it has been a while.
In answer to your question - honestly, if I had the money I'd park another smurf right next to the blue meanie (thats the AU's name for now) tomorrow. BUT, if I was on a budget I would probably stick to the AU. Skip the B series, they are uninspiring to drive unless you go to an FPV in which case it's more for the prestige of owning one, not the driving experience, and an FG is a very, very nice car from factory. There isnt much most people would want to do to them to get them fun. This AU though, now that I'm driving it, is actually giving me more fun than the FG did because of the character of the car. Cranky angry bloody mean sounding thing it is, its not the fastest and it's certainly not the best looking ute Ford ever made (by no means ugly though) but by geez it's fun and it's costing me less than half what the FG did every week.
