xman, I'm in Victoria. I own both a PV traditional and a 16 oz. wool casual, and I really like them both. They are both well-made, good value kilts bought from forum sponsors. If you were going to leave me with the choice of one, though, I'd keep the wool one. Why? I was brought up on wool kilts, and it just feels more traditional to me. I can wear it year round with no problem. Also, as has been said, there are way more tartan choices. Good luck on your decision!
