My first was my seiko skx, it cost me £120 new on eBay around about 2003. It went haywire for no good reason , and I sold it broken a couple of years ago for about £100 on eBay.
I normally wear mine as a grab and go watch, as most of my collection is autos. I always enjoy wearing it , although at night I can't read the time because the lume is poor now.
No I get where your coming from, you won't regret either choice I'm sure. You have to be a big seiko fan to purchase a sla model, because to most people a seiko is not a luxury watch . But for me personally I'm in the camp where I feel both the sub and the speedie have become overpriced. That said if I could get a sub at it's 8k retail price, then I probably would. You won't lose money on either model , long term , as I can't see either model getting cheaper. Good luck !!!
