I would seriously spend more money for the Sport Edition. It's a great value. I'm sure you'd be able to find one with RSCA and front seat mounted side airbags. All the SE's they had on my dealer's lot had RSCA (granted it probably was a common regional configuration). Asides from the already mentioned features of the SE, it also has audio controls on the steering wheels, unique 6-spoke 17" wheels, color keyed door handles, rear garnish, & sideview mirrors. The headlamp bezels are also a darker smoke chrome along with the grill (not really noticeable I have to admit though). The tube steps are much easier to keep clean too in my experience. My SR5's black running boards get much dirtier faster than my SE's tube steps.
