hi bigbob, I don't know all the intricate optional differences between the two, but I've got the 2.5i loaded, and I've driven the 3.0. Honestly, performance-wise, I couldn't tell a huge difference. It just wasn't enough to make up for the thousands of dollars difference between the two. But I don't know what prices you're looking at.
With either choice, you're going to have a blast with it. Maybe writing down the differences between the two and then looking at them will help you make your decision. Let us know either way you go!
