One final thought; I drove a 2001 Accord EX V6 for 7 years, and the entire time I had it I dreamed of dropping a slick shifting 6-Speed manual into it. Ultimately I kinda-sorta did just that; I sold the Accord and replaced it with the Accord's sibling (built on the same platform and on the same assembly line), a 2006 Acura TL 6MT; yes the TL cost difference between what I sold the Accord for and what I paid for the TL was upwards of $6,000, but that was probably far less than the cost of dropping the 6MT in the Accord, and as a bonus, I got a far-FAR nicer car, with a lot more power, better brakes (Brembo 4-piston calipers up front), better suspension, and better looks. In your shoes I would strongly suggest looking at 2004 to 2008 Acura TLs with a 6-Speed manual.
Oddly enough, mine is on the market as we speak; I just had a new Toyota Tacoma TRD Sport with a 6-Speed manual built; it will be here in a few weeks. :)
