Hi all I'm still on the sideline FTM. I don't have a silver spoon and am finding it a bit hard to justify forking out the dough for the F over the other IS models, especially in current economic conditions. So I'm just curious why you chose the F. I know the joy of owning the Beast, having a car nobody else in the state has, having the best ultra high performance Lexus sports series money can buy are valid reasons but unfortunately money is an object in my case and these reasons aren't practical enough for me to pull the trigger. 
I normally drive 80-90% city these days, so honestly in terms of practicality, even the IS250 will be adequate in mostly 30-50mph traffic. I test drove the IS350 w/ sports pkg last weekend, and thought that was pretty sweet, and although coming from a softer ride, I found the IS350 a tiny bit hard on the stomach, I'm sure I can adjust to that in time.
The F will be at the top end of my budget, but a new/used/demo IS350 will leave me spare change for rainy days I suppose...oh if it makes any difference, I will probably keep it stock & won't be modding anything at all.
Cheers.
