Partial or Full Knee Replacement

I have been told by two surgeons that I am the perfect candidate for a partial replacement, however, a third surgeon(excellent credentials) tells me I should have a full replacement, and if I have a partial I will be back in two to three years wanting a full. I am 66 years old... very active, belong to a gym and play doubles tennis sporadically. Has anyone else had this "difference of opinion" from the experts? I must have surgery in January and I am baffled by what to do.
