08 Fit Sport vs 09 Fit Base - Which Would you Buy?

I'm in the market for a used fit.

I'm finding that on the used market, Sports are harder to come by and charge quite a premium relative to the base model. Also, second gen fits (09 and on) are likewise harder to find and relatively more expensive. My ideal choice would be an 09 Sport, but if that proves too hard to find, or out of my budget, then I may consider making a compromise on either the generation or the trim. SO,

If you had to pick, which one would you want, and why? Do you think the added features of the sport trim outweigh the improvements between the generations?

I would look for a 09 Fit Sport. We got our daughter an 09 FIT Sport with Nav for a little under $600.00. That's right under $600.00. Granted it wasn't running, but two new cv axles along with new wheel bearings on both hubs the 09 FIT was basically free since the PO thought he blew up the trans. He heard a loud band and the FIT stopped moving forward or reverse. I looked at the car and saw that the driverside axle had snapped. With no drive to the wheel, the car wouldn't move. The $600 included all the parts, but not my labor.
