Agree, 112 is the best choice between those two. The 87 works surprisingly well once properly restored, but is a TRF set which has no AVC (automatic volume control) and no tone control. The 112 not only has those features, but is also a superheterodyne with an RF stage and two stages of IF, plus that normal-maximum switch that will make the set really pull in the stations when set to "max"...
