Revwar or F&I?

There's always a dilemma in this - for the mid 18th century - Revwar or F&I? Especially in the UK and Europe where geography doesn't play a part as in the US but my philosophy has always been do both. The periods are so close to count as one period in my opinion - not suggesting you wear the same kit for them but both wars were fought by to a certain extent the same individuals so it is hard to make a distinction and have an interest in just one. For example if you do an expensive uniform in one period maybe do a simple civilian in the other...it's the only way. And don't forget - the public think you're pirates anyway.
