Advice on what to go for

Hiya

Wonder if someone can give me some advice on the following 2 loan options:

a. 4-year loan @ 8% APR with rate fixed
b. 4-year loan @ NWBR + 2.5% variable rate

Guess the second one gives more flexibility, but given the outlook on interest rates, well, it may be a huge gamble.

At this point i time, both loans work out the same (NWBR at 5.5% + spread = 8% on the fixed loan deal.)

What do you reckon?

Cheers,

Garg
