Undecided 08 Accord Coupe ex-l v6 MT or 08 s2k

Hello Everyone,
I've been on this board for the last couple of days doing a bit of research on the Accord v6 coupe MT. All the info I've found in here has been very helpful and it is really making it hard for me to make a decision on what car to purchase - 2008 S2000 or 2008 Accord Coupe EX-L V6 MT?

I test drove the s2k the other day and I have to admit it was a hard beast to tame. I've never owned a MT car before but I do know how to drive one... but just not as well as most of you here. The s2k felt really notchy going into 1st and from 1st to 2nd. But a bit of that is probably my inexperience with a MT.

I haven't had a chance to test drive the Accord because I have yet to find a dealership in Chicago that has a MT in stock. I would even try the i4 version, if that would help. However, my dealer says he can definitely get a hold of one from a few dealerships that are about 80 - 100 miles from Chicago. Is the v6 as notchy as s2k? Or are all Honda transmissions pretty much the same?

So, I know that i'm posting in an accord forum but if you guys could try to be somewhat objective and weigh in on which car i should take this would be greatly appreciated.

Keep in my mind the following factors:
-I'm not a sesoned MT driver.
-I live in chicago which just had a total of over 53 inches of snow this past winter.
-I have a really short commute to work - less than 5 miles.
-I really want to get the feel of a sports car - does the v6 coupe fulfill that?
-Price isn't an issue because once isurance is factored in i end up paying the same for either car.

Well that's that and I would deeply appreciate any input you current owners have.

Thanks.
