dari segi long-term cost, K9 is the better bet, since Pzh2000 is German-made, have a more complex system and more expensive spare-parts..
Kalau k9 bagi full tot boleh lar.
Yang saya risau ialah k9 dan pzh2000 terlebih berat.

I think the army would rather have a ready product then wait for it develop again

SPH procurement was long overdue for malaysia
K9 there seem to have a few problem as well. Some korean forum discuss that their auto loader is not as fast as advertised
Officially pzh2000 9 rounds while K9 6 rounds perminute although K9 is 10ton lighter
Some local journalist mention we might get second hand unit of pzh2000 from dutch army if the deal went through, dunno true or not
K9 maybe can come with some deal on dokdo class ldp

since both are korean made
Archer start delivering dec last years so no problem.
We can go for enhance development.
German still got surplus sph.
crotia did get the deal done at usd35 for 2nd hand pzh2000.
Not sure if we being offer such deals.
