Default usdm b18c1 vs jdm b16a2

well beyond the obviuos, what would be the better motor to buy? i just found a usdm b18c1 in a local wreckers for about $500 more then the jdm b16a2 i was gonna buy. the hp numbers are pretty similar, tq is of course in the favour of the b18 so is the extra $500 worht it? i have driven my buddys gsr powered eg6 and found it fun to drive, so can i expect the same from b16a2?
