Does anyone have any thoughts about the comparative value of Volvo vs Westerbeke diesels?

I am within a month of ordering a new diesel. It looks like it is coming down to either a Westerbeke 44C (38hp - 3000 rpm) or a Volvo-Penta D2-40 (39.6 hp - 3200 rpm). I am seeking comments from anyone about either engine. This is a repower for my 32' boat.

Comments please.
