I'm thinking I might choose a higher mileage SRT6 over a low mileage NA coupe if the price was the same and condition was excellent for both. I do have a NA Alabaster 04 Coupe with 30k that I really like, but sometimes I wonder what it would be like to have 115+ more horsepower.
I hear you about the additional 115+ HP, but an SRT with 77K could be a tired dog. If someone has had the car and raced it for a majority of its life, that 77K might as well be 700,000 and with a new AMG SC going for $10K that is a maintenance nightmare I would avoid.

Buying one with lower miles and putting them on myself would not scare me at all, because at least then I know what the car has been through and that it has been maintained.
