Why would a Fleetline be worth more than an Atlantean?

Is fixing an air tank a big problem?

I heard these panoramic large side windows gave structural issues for some operators and thus earlier withdrawal from service. Would that be the same for this batch?

Although the seller has a YouTube of the engine running, I am guessing there is potential for all sorts of issues, mainly body, hence your comment about deep pockets.
There's more Atlanteans around than Fleetlines. Only about 4 Fleetlines survive compared to the numerous Atlanteans in preservation.
The panoramic windows were never an issue on any of the batches ordered by the PTE as far as I know, as I've seen Atlanteans survive into the early 2000's before being withdrawn. Structural issues only really occurred on the Willowbrook batch, due to being unfamiliar with the nearside layout.
As for the air pump, you will need to find one that matches the engine, as the Fleetlines were fitted with Gardiner engines.
