Obviously it's entirely down to personal choice but if it was my M8 I wouldn't go for the ring mount . I agree it looks cool but I think you will find it makes climbing in and out of the turret really hard work and the only way to stop it rusting is to oil/grease it, which gets on everyone that rides in the turret - who tend to be your guests. Another practical point is it makes the vehicle quite a bit taller which could make a difference to getting it into a building (possibly at an event if not at home base). To my eyes it also looks a bit less lean and more top heavy with the ring mount but beauty is in the eye of the beholder...

Great job so far though.
