I've heard that the squared engine bay Panteras are stronger, and made better as well.
Here is the link that JK is referring to:

I linked you right to page 4 where the 'squared off' discussion begins. It starts with Marlin's reply, second down.
You can go back to read the beginning if you like by using the page numbers at the top and bottom.
