Which is the better collector value?
Both are landmark late-80s machines, but the F40 carries the higher projected value and a larger number of recorded sales, making its market easier to track. The 959 is the rarer build with a devoted following. Choose the F40 for value and market depth; the 959 for pure scarcity.
