Petrol v Diesel Alfa?

I do 12,000 miles per year. I have been offered a mint 25k mile 58 Alfa GT Cloverleaf 2.0 JTS for £7500 plus my beautiful, fully serviced 120k mile Alfa 147 JTDm. Is this a good deal or should I hold out for a diesel GT?

I'm no fan of Alfa diesels because of all that can go wrong with them. But if your experience with the 147 JTDm contradicts that, then do what your instincts tell you.
