Default B16 in a 97 ex sedan

Is this type of swap more worth while than turboing my motor?
I'm saying this because i have come across a good deal that includes everything but i am thinking that the B16 would be hell to drive daily because of it's lack of torque, especially in a 4 dr.

More importantly what is the weight difference between a 99-00 si and a 97 ex sedan?
thanks

Don't go with a B16 in an accord. You will be very disappointed. If u had a CRX or a civic that's understandable, but you're going to need a motor with some torque to pull all that weight. I have a 91 integ, and I'm going with a b20 rather than the typical b16 swap, because of the amount of torque the b20 has, and my car weighs at least 600 pounds lighter than your accord, just my opinion, try for a turbo setup or even a prelude motor swap

I think hes talking about a civic, no where did i get any information about an accord. If this were me, i would just turbo my d16, its just more fun. and will whoop on a b16a swap.
