Well, take my input for what it's worth, here's my experience:

I bought an LS in July 01, test drove both base & Type S model RSXs. The base felt like a cushier LS, wasn't a fan. The S was REAL nice though, although it felt detached. I was going fast, handling nice & all, but it didn't FEEL as fast.

I had a deposit on an RSX-S, but didn't want to wait 4 months and pay almost $500/mo.

Go to a dealer, test drive one thoroughly. Take it through twisties, on the highway, keep it out as long as possible.

After driving a handful of GSRs now, stock & otherwise, I'd like to drive an RSXS again.

My vote goes for the GSR
