I saved my pennies for bodywork and a new paint job for my T5, but every time I see a nice scooter for sale I get the urge to buy it and leave the dents in my old T5.
Assuming both run pretty well, 77 P200 or 86 PX150?

The P200... no replacement for displacement. Or fix up the T5.

I bought the PX150e, from a guy nearby, it's in good shape with no dents , just a little rust on the floorboard. Only 201 miles with the original 86 title. It's been sitting in a garage for 30 years. I rode it today, and it runs well, not as fast as the T5 but not bad. The electric start still works.

I love your PX150, it is beautiful and with that low mileage is a win -win situation. I like to endorse the bigger displacement suggstions. I have had the 150cc and the 200cc and the torque is night and day.

I can't say that you didn't do well though. Congrats!

nice!

Is that an arcobaleno/lusso model? I think it is based on the tags

Yes it is, the scooter came with a modification booklet that says Arcobaleno.
It is slower, but I might be able to make it go a little faster.

nice color. Good condition. Clean, polish and wax and it will sparkle. Ditch the garbage US tractor tail light and its a beauty!
