Definitely the LCD monitor, AFAIK.

After four years of living in Japan I've come across a few LTs and only seen the LCD monitor maybe once that I can think of. The Laseractive you have is also much more common.

You'd be better off asking someone like Tatsujin over at PCEngineFX.com. He, as his name implies, is a master of PC Engine stuff and a nice buy to boot! If you've seen pictures of the guy in Japan with the huge PCE collection (multiple copies of Saphhire, all four Caravan competition HuCards (ever heard of those?), Necromancer signed by H.R.Giger, etc.), that's the same guy. He actually has quite a bit more than you do, unless you've suddenly acquired multiples of every PCE shoot 'em up and are only a couple dozen games away from a complete collection. http://www.assemblergames.com/forums/sh ... hp?t=19226

Thanks!

The LCD screen might be more common, but from my experience it is definitely not. I don't consider myself an expert, though.

Why don't you have an account at PCEngineFX.com? Those guys know a lot more about the PCE that probably anyone here.

There isn't, but the guys that are there are generally really knowledgeable. It's worth even asking in the chatbox.
