Work vehicle? Is a Delica a workable option?

First time poster, and long time lurker. =>
I've been seeing the Delis for many years now, always wondered what they are, but always thought the L400 Spacegears looked pretty damn awesome. I recall reading a post previously saying that the fella was looking for something like an Odessey, or a Sienna, but with a bit more cool factor. The only van the fam has had was an ol beatup 1990 Dodge Caravan. We rented a newer Caravan a couple of years ago, and the kids ate it up like Skittles.
Ok, so much for my short preamble! LOL. Long and short of it is, we'll be looking for a work vehicle to do about 2-3 trips a week around town. I'm curious if anyone on the forum uses a Deli for a work vehicle that's a skilled tradesperson, contractor, realtor, etc. We do corporate video work and would love to get a custom advertising wrap with our company logo on a set of wheels that's eye catching. It can store the kids when not in use for work, and also can haul lots of tripods, video gear, jibs, dollys etc. when on duty. Of course one of the big things will be a decal on each door stating that "no equipment is stored in vehicle". =>
I understand that these are japanese import vehicles, and around the GVRD there are at least a fair amount of shops that will do maintenance and service which is good. They are also 15 years old +, so can appreciate that they will need a bit more time in the shop than a new Civic. Heh.
Thanks in advance for any feedback, and will continue to read the deli can forums!
