Anyone gotten a TRD sports M version?

Heard that the TRD version is only for the Jap market. Is it true?

Is it worth it to get a stock model with 200HP?

Most people on this board are from the US and Canada, with some people from Europe. The rest of the world isn't well represented, so I don't think anybody has any first-person experience with the TRD Sports M version. And I don't think the TRD Sports M was sold outside of Japan, although I'm sure a few got shipped elsewhere by private parties.

Personally, I think I'd go with a SS-II Super Strut, if I lived in Japan, because I don't like the badges and such on the Sports M. But I think the performance would be worth it.

Note: I have the US Celica GT-S, which is equivalent to the non-Super Strut SS-II.
