Go for it.
A few [internet] friends have them. 2 V8s and 1 V12, IIRC. They all seem to love them.
The V12 caught on fire while parked and was a total loss. Thankfully it was parked in the street, so no building or other vehicle damage. But the V8s have been reliable.
At this point, I doubt you could lose money on one. So, even if you don't love it, it'll sell in a year or two for similar money. You'd just be out upkeep costs, and as long as you avoid carbon brakes (not sure which years/models had that option) and don't blow up the engine, that shouldn't be too bad.
I'd only consider a 4.3 if it was a significant discount over the newer models. Not so much because of the engine itself - just would want the newest/nicest I could afford. I'd be more concerned about the radio/GPS situation - they're all of an era where the satnav systems were garbage (across all marques), and I'd want to upgrade if possible.
