Collapsable pushrod tubes are more expensive but easier to use when
replacing a tube. If you're doing the work yourself, it is more
expensive. If someone else is doing the work, it will be less
expensive...  That is, strictly speaking monetarily...  But, your time
is worth something..

Having said that bout of logic, DEFINITELY USE A COLLAPSABLE TUBE! I
have an '84 too, and I use collapsable tubes whenever I need to replace
them.  Sure, they don't come with them, but you can certainly use them!
