Default What Motor should I get this summer?

I am torn. I want a GSR motor. But the B16A is a lot cheaper...so my question is, should I save up the extra for the GSR motor? or should I get B16A and just pocket the rest and get a GSR block or something later?

my reasoning is this...the GSR motor has the secondary butterflies in the the intake manifold, and its recommended that at some point, especially if you want a reprogrammed ECU that you get a new intake manifold like the Skunk2 or the VictorX or something. thats like another $300-400 on top of of the cost of a GSR motor down the road... The B16A has a better intake manifold right? so if I can score I GSR block for less then $1000, I am making money...

or am I on crack...
