Yes that is true and the Disco's are very capable vehicles as well and as you say, can be picked up for a lot less than a Series/90/110/Defender.
They're a damn site more comfortable to drive as an every day vehicle too.
No where near as much fun as a 90, but on a long haul, I think I'd go for the disco. My 90 was good fun, but a 250 mile round trip in it was hell. Not being able to move the seat back is a bit of a pain when you're 6'2
Agreed BM and Dev, multi-use every day transport the Discovery has a lot going for it. The mechanics are just as durable as those on a Defender ( because they are identical), but the interior is a little more fragile, bit comes with greater creature comfort....and lots more stowage containers.
Yup, and you can get an auto box (which I prefer)
