this will cause insurance to go up
other minor differences besides engine size are
gsr come standard with 15" rims, only certain other models do
spoiler is standard with 3rd brake light integrated
DOHC VTEC Badging 
different cluster due to higher redline
suspension tweaks
then on later years 98+ come standard with leather and cd changer
just get a gsr they are better 
no standard cd changer and 98 leather was still an option. 99-01 leather was standard on GSR's
