I suggest you do some reading. LSA is not the sole determination of drive-ability.

LSA is not a deciding factor for ease of driving.

If it helps I have a friend who daily drives a 231/232 on a 111.

However, it is a matter of preference. Some people daily drive T-Rex cams and MS4s. All in the tune and the driver's tolerance.
