get what you want, as you won't enjoy it if you don't. We could argue the points of this being better than that all day long, but it is you that needs to be satisfied. Any dealer that wouldn't show you a car that is being worked on is hiding something. A sale is a sale. I would put either of my SRT up against any N/A in any cornering situation any day. Just have to get use to the auto stick for hard cornering. The ride will be stiffer, more harsh in the SRT 6, especially the roadster. She was build just a bit stiffer being a convertable. Good luck with your hunt, but buy what you like... You should get into a coupe in the 15k range, the roadsters will be more....I love both mine...
