Default Is a Type S head swap really worth it?

After minor research on this site and ephatch.com,I've come to the conclusion that a Type S head swap is not worth it and requires too much work. A type S seems more reasonable. What is everyone's take on this? Am I right or wrong? Comments and feedback appreciated and needed.

IMO, unless you get a good deal on the K20A2
head, you might as well swap the whole motor
out of a Type S.
As for whether it's worth it to swap into an ep3 vs. buying a Type S, that's your call. Personally, I like my hatchback/Si and think
the chassis is comparable to the Type S, so
if I ever was looking at the swap, I'd probably
choose that over an RSX-S.

A2 are too expensive now. I think i'm going to go turbo. If my engine blows up then Na seems safer. Getting the money for everything first is the hard part.
