High speed or regular motor for tumbler

After 30-35 years of service and 2 bearing changes my Thumblers Tumbler motor burned up. I see they offer 2 models, one a high speed and the other is the standard speed. Should I go with the high speed or stick with the standard model. Difference in price is only $2.00.

standard if all you are ever doing is tumbling brass. the higher speed version is really only needed for rock tumbling.
