Which cajon should I buy?

Hello,
I want to buy a cajon, my first one, and I'm not sure if I should get
the Meinl Headliner Series Cajon or the Latin Percussion (LP) Aspire
Cajon LPA1331.

They both have the same price.. ($99)
1. Which one would you get?

I really think that the Meinl's is better, I could find it more
commonly used, and it has wonderful reviews..
2. And If I get the Meinl's, would you get the small or medium size?
(I believe that small will be a good match for me though I'm only 16
y/o)
3. Can it actually replace a drums set not incuding the cymbals OF
COURSE! ? (I believe that the answer is no, but I heard some claim
that..)

Please help me as soon as possible, there's a great deal for the
fourth of July.. :)

Thanks in advance,
Yuval.
