If it were my money, I'd ask myself these two questions:

1) Am I going to be daily driving the car with some fun (canyons, HPDE's) thrown in a couple of times per year?

2) Will I be keeping it mostly stock?

If I answer yes to both, I'd buy the Sport package. It will be what I would need most of the time for the way I drive.

If I intend to push the car a bit harder and/or do some modifications or customizing, I would rather spend the $3k on aftermarket improvements as I'm likely to throw off many of the Sport package items anyway.
