Would the Nissan Primastar or Peugeot Expert Tepee make a better taxi?

I am thinking of buying a people carrier for my taxi trade. I have a choice between the Nissan Primastar or the Peugeot Expert Tepee

The latest Primastar has the current chain cam 2.0 litre Renault 'Alliance' diesel engine. The Peugeot is belt cam. The Peugeot is a bit nicer to drive if that is important to you. Because the Primastar is exactly the same as the Trafic you can use the Renault Pro network of service and repair dealers.
