A 430 with similar mileage goes for nothing less than 135k and a v10 with the same options and mileage is 130k.
Im paying for this thing outright and not eating away at more of my money "to do it right"....
The only other option would be to lease a new r8, but the numbers really have to make sense.
I believe the two choices laid out are phenomenal cars and both equally gorgeous in their own right.
I'm leaning a bit more towards the R8....we will find out this weekend.

OP, you have a great choice on your hands. Can I ask why a used Gallardo hasn't entered the picture? At your price range you can probably look in the 05-06 range and it fits the bill for a mid-engine exotic.
Based on reviews on 6speed they seem to be very reliable. Only words of caution were the usual "get PPI, stay away from early e-gear etc."
Between those two cars listed I don't know which I would choose. Probably R8
EDIT: Sorry OP, checked cars.com and Gallardo's are more expensive than I thought. Would be at the top of your budget.
