You can swap the 6sp out for a 5sp. Alot of MR owners do that if they want to run alot of HP or don't want to deal with the fragile 6sp

That is a can of worms. They are different. Depends on what you want to do. I wouldn't say one is better than the other. Again depends on what your plans on for the car.
