Ya, operator comfort is really something to think about on those JDs.... Maybe you have seen a picture of me, but I am 6'5, and wear 16's on my feets!
I litteraly can not drive a JD B, I LOVE the little Bs, but can not drive them, period (only for a few feet, loading on a trailer, etc.)
Drove an A, and it really didn't feel much different, but I actually fit on it!!
If the 520 has a tight station (because in reality it is a B) and you are a big guy like me, it would be worth paying a little extra for the 620, and being able to drive it!!
Personally, I would dump the two JD's and go for the Cockshutt. IF it is nice shape, it will be worth a lot more in the long run, however it may be more costly to restore, harder to get parts, and even harder to know how to restore it (paint, etc). BUT, there are LOTS of JD's out there, and people see them green ones and think "oh cool, a John Deere" thats it. VERY few people say "oh! a 520! OH and theres a 730D! COOL!" Thats what us tractor freaks do! :P
Good luck either way.... Would love a picture of that Super M..... :)

Today's Featured Article - A Lifetime of David Brown - by Samuel Kennedy. I was born in 1950 and reared on my family�s 100 acre farm. It was a fairly typical Northern Ireland farm where the main enterprise was dairying but some pigs, poultry and sheep were also kept. Potatoes were grown for sale and oats were grown to be used for cattle and horse feeding. Up to about 1958 the dairy cows were fed hay with some turnips and after that grass silage was the main winter feed. That same year was the last in which flax was grown on the farm. Flax provided the fibre which w
