owned an 11 second 2wd TBSS for four years. i loved driving it. the trans's are the weak link, but can be fixed with a one time correct rebuild (so factor that into the price). i now own an '08 G8 (#219 of the first 888 i believe). previous owner had a few DOD lifters fail and kept driving it ended up wiping a bearing out. his loss, my gain.
Just be mindful you WILL be replacing the DOD setup at some point, they will fail. So the trans in the trailblazer vs the DOD problems in the G8 pretty much offset each other (give or take a few hundred).
It's really about car vs SUV at that point. only you can decide. I would take another TBSS vs my G8 in a heartbeat. When my G8's done, if i find the right TBSS willing to trade, i will do it. Best of luck with your decision. You can't go wrong with either.
