How good is Blue HDi 120 S&S compared to e-HDi 115 S&S?

Is the Citroen/Peugeot Blue HDi 120 S&S worth the extra £850 over the older e-HDi 115 S&S engine in, say, the 2008?

The Blue HDI is EU6 and the older e-HDI isn't so if non-EU6 diesels get banned from city centres. the e-HDI will be banned and the Blue HDI won't be. The disadvantage of the Blue HDI is that the AdBlue tank fills up the spare wheel well so you don't get a spare wheel. Better to wait for the 1.2 PureTech 110 and 130 petrol engines, coming soon.
