Question What should I do?

I've been thinking about switching over to a T56 lately but I can't decide if it's worth it. I've driven auto's all of my short 3 1/2 year driving span and lately, I've been getting bored of them. I don't know if I should just keep the auto and put a stall on it, or switch over to the 6-speed. If I do switch over, I'll have to learn how to drive it right, which hopefully won't take long. Here's what I have against switching over though:

-T56's aren't too friendly with the rear-end
-It will be a major P.I.T.A to swap over
-Changing the clutch will get annoying
-Being my first manual, I'll probably won't be too nice to the clutch at first


And here's what I have for switching:

-More fun to drive
-Better MPG
-Sounds better IMO
-More control over the car


Now, this won't really be a track car, I've never ran at the track before and I rarely will so anything concerning that doesn't matter too much to me. I mainly drive on open roads with no traffic, so I won't have to worry about the annoyance of giving my right arm and left leg a workout too much. So, all this being said, what do you guys think I should do - Stall or M6 conversion?
