The question is where you want your emphasis. Do you want raw or polished? The Stradale is definitely going to feel racier...louder, tighter, stiffer, and you'll hear every stone against the bottom of the car. The 430 is creamy by comparison. Track performance should be nearly identical since the CS comes with R tires vs the street tires on the 430. Put R's on the 430 and it will be faster on the track. Straight line the 430 is quite a bit quicker. If you can get a 430 at list that would be the smartest move financially if that matters. Either one is among the top 6 most desireable cars on the planet, so it's hard to make a mistake in this scenario.

I have thought about this too since I am gonna make the jump to the F-car soon myself. If I am not going for the Stradale model 430 (aka just not waiting) i'd rather just get the new Spyder. Because getting a 'Standard' F430 will only make it inferior once the CS comes out, and thats the model I trully want.

I'd buy the F430 without a doubt, for my purposes. It comes down to how you will be driving it, how the roads are, and what your overall purpose is. Not to mention, with waiting lists 2 years long, you simply cannot lose with the F430. That's what I would get if I could walk into a dealership and buy one.
