Default swap Idea...good or bad???

I am going to purchase a swap soon.I am most deff going to go turbo. I was thinking about getting a gsr swap. But I was thinking about getting a b16 swap and turboing it. then building a gsr block and swap out the 1.6 block..Do you guys think his is a good idea ?Since a gsr swap is 3400.00...and the b16 is 2500.00 ?

why would you buy a 1.6 if you can afford a 1.8?
If your going to buy the b16, turbo that and then build up the b18, why not keep the motor you have know and build on the 1.8 platform?
It would a sad waste of money to purchase both swaps
