I'd argue that from a purely performance standpoint they're not "worth" the extra cost over a sport model, at least not at MSRP. Also the interior is a bit spartan if you like things like leather, decent quality sound, nav, and a backup camera (a very useful feature on the 370). If you're talking used then all bets are off.

I love my NISMO anyway though.

They actually handle worse than the sport model by the reviews I've seen - skidpad and braking were both worse I think.

Nissan claims the NISMO is better on the skidpad (0.99g) but it's really splitting hairs and probably dependent on who is doing the testing.
