All the extras the nismo comes with are basically light changes that aftermarket parts can do much better.
If you are planning on doing body kit/rims then those two alone will cost just as much if not more than the nismo's package. So if you love the nismo's look, buy it because the body kit + rims alone is worth it. If you don't like the nismo's look then I suggest the base+sport.
Down to it, between the two packages, it is about which one looks better to you.

^ I would have to agree with all of the statements above from the others as well.
The Nismo vs base/touring has been debated several times on this forum too and proved to be a great read. In fact, this thread might once again 
As someone said earlier, I love all versions of the Z and would not have minded getting the Nismo version. But in the end, I like the more "subdued" look of the non-nismo Z. Again, comes down to personal preference, but don't choose based on performance, as they are pretty much equal.
Whatever you choose should be based on looks, residual value, modding plans, and exclusivity.
