If I had the chance I too would have both cars (If I had the money I would have a Diablo, Countach and Miura too plus I'd throw in a 350 as well).
I also appreciate that these days "Supercars" are getting more useable everyday (parking sensors on Aventador), but I'd still love a Murcielago more than a Gallardo. I think you only have to look at the amount of people who have so far replied stating they'd go LP640, I realise that most don't own either but they all want the Murcielago. Granted real world ownership may well change everyones mind lol.
I maybe wrong in my thoughts but thats just me, anyway I am a little envious and hope you continue to enjoy your cars and use them as much as possible.

I don't doubt for one moment that you are correct, and as stated previously you are in the fortunate position of having first hand knowledge of both vehicles.

I agree with you on certain points. The Murci has a far greater presence. However, ownership does change ones perspective as you stated. The fact of the matter is the Gallardo is a better built car. I had a chance to purchase a Diablo SVa while ago. I passed it on after a mile drive. It felt like a truck. Clutch, gearbox are all heavy IMO. Great to look at, but not so much pleasure to drive. I gave my opinion, the OP must do with it what he wants.

i remember when i bought my gallardo (one f the first vehicles in europe) i was soooooo excited, but haven driven it on a daily basis for 10000km, i just could not take it anymore and had to sell it! felt so wrong, a lambo without scissor doors!!!!!! WTF? i just could not drive it anymore, literally became discusted with the car. really regret buying it!
then i bought a murcie.... it is one quirky car, makes bizzare noises, hudge blind spot, maintenance bills, etc... but i could not be happier!!!! my fav car! and i have a few... actually i have 2 murcies, that is how much i am in love with it! (in different cities though) and my aventador should be delievered in 3 or so months, i cant wait!
i drive my murcie every day: grocery shopping, going to the gym, whatever, and never in years of ownership had to take it for maintenance for reasons other then usual planned maintenance.
i also have among others a ferrari 599, and that car is 10 times easyer to drive, has incredible interior, comfort, and a bit faster, but the poor thing sits in the garage all day.
Murcie hands down.
