I think Discos can for many uses be a very good alternative to a Defender. Cheaper, as you say, almost as capable (the thing that limits them a bit off road is the long rear overhang), much more comfortable, more rear leg room.
They have less storage space compared to a 110.
There are the usual land Rover reliability issues, just do a search of the forum. Most things can be dealt with quite easily, apart from the gearbox mainshaft problem. So if you go for one, check this, and consider a rebuilt gearbox if needed.
