I'll give the brakes credit, however, the Akebono design has proven to be inefficient and suffer from fade after a hot lap or two. The VLSD, well, its a VLSD. Leaving only SRM to prove its worth, and it does, however, an experienced heel toe-er like myself can execute the same function. I never once argued that for 3k, the SP is a great deal, however, some of the points brought up about how the SP will outperform the base in every respect are false. I have a feeling this thread is quickly going to turn into yet another pissing match, so I'll respectfully bow out before it does, i've spoken my piece.
You make some good points in there. Its all about what you want. Some people cant shift well and need the SRM to make life bearable. Some people love the look of the rays. The base z is great, the sports package just upgrades it. Make the decision yourself if you think it is worth the money or not.

Is it worth the price? Absolutely
Is it a must? No way
