Works for me.  I trust your judgement on these matters.

I like both of them.

 :r !links -version
Links 2.30

I usually use links for browsing and lynx for conversion of html to text. 
Also, despite having graphics turned off in links, I can still view all sorts
of multimedia files by farming it out to a proper application for whatever
format ... all without the need for xorg etal.

Life is good,
Maurice
