Well I'd pretty much decided not to go for a disco and then I found a great one that is a really good price. So I got it looked at and in the meantime, found another one which is also really nice. Let me tell you what they are...
'94 Disco, 200tdi 270,000kms. 2"

Snorkel, roo bar, reece hitch f+r. Recond g/box, new clutch, new rad, brakes, serviced every 5000ks.
$5500. It's in WA, where my Mum lives and where I have to go in November so she can have it til then. My Uncle checked it out and reckons its great.
Then I found:

Seems like a no brainer really. The 2nd one on paper is awesome. But it's been pretty modified. It was built purely for 4x4ing and that's what it's done. My gut says the stocky cheaper one might suit me better. But Diff locks! Long range tanks!
I'm moving to
Darwin and want something that I'm not under all the time. Hmmm...
What would you do?
