Default Seeking feeback-GSR owners who went to RSX-S (or vice versa)

I was hoping to get some feedback from previous 3rd gen GSR owners who have made the leap to a RSX-S (or vice versa). Obviously more power, maybe feels heavier, more refined, etc would apply here, but I am looking more for people who used both cars as daily drivers and the differences they noticed between them in real world driving, as well as what you liked or disliked with one vs the other. Also if you are happy with the change or not. I have a DC now for a daily and was looking at possibly getting a RSX S to daily...

The RSX-S came across to me as being a bit more plush than the GSR. It was certainly more comfortable on the highway, but was also a little bit easier to get carried away with. During spirited driving I found myself overestimating the suspension quite a bit.

The GSR feels tighter, but requires more work. The shifter and front suspension offer a lot more tactile feedback, making it an easier car to predict, but also make it more demanding and uncomfortable.

From the standpoint of someone strictly looking for a daily driver, the RSX S I think works it's magic a bit better than the GSR.

ive driven both and i prefer the gsr. The car is much more raw if you know what i mean and can be tossed around in traffic easier than the rsx-s.
