^ Thanks dude! These cars are really safe and you don't see too many sports sedans offering MTs any more.

What features did the Type-S have that you saw the Base (I honestly hate calling the J32 powered TL's base as they could be had with the same luxury/comfort features the Type-S had)? Maybe I'm missing something...lol.

I have a base 6mt and wish I had the type-s. However the type-S wasn't out when I bought, and I like having the other things the difference in price bought me more. *shrug* Both are great cars. Given that you're buying used the difference in price shouldn't be nearly as great as when I was buying new. I'd go with a type-s if I were buying now.
