I'd get the earliest IX you can. Clipskid sold me on those

. I dont think the MR is really worth it either, 6 speeds are nice, but not worth paying so much extra for IMO. If you put half of the extra couple grand you saved over the MR and put it into the GSR, the GSR would kick its ass anyway. Then again, a DSM with 20 grand invested in it would tear pretty much anything a new asshole
