Steve -- you say you are deciding between a Lotus Elise and a Cobra Replica. That's really quite an oranges vs. apples difference. Much more difference than the standard Ginger vs. Mary Ann -- more like a Heather Locklear vs. a GLOW (women wrestling) champion.

I'd say decide what will really make you happy and then go for the one that will put a smile on your face more consistently.

Obviously on this forum, the choice most have made is clear.
