Lionel Post War Z transformer vs. ZW transformer

I'm thinking about replacing my 275 watt ZW transformer with a 250 watt Z transformer. My layout is fairly small and the difference in the watts is not a concern. The issue is the two upright handles on the ZW interfere with my access to part of the layout. My fat gut (which was not there when I first built the layout) keeps getting hung up on those handles ever time I reach over them. Someone is offering me a recently serviced Z transformer for not a lot of money. The Z is just so big and ugly, but it might solve my problem. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks.
