I'm partial to the notchback too...imagine that!
I really don't think there is that much difference in weight b/t the notch and hatch as one may think. The notch is probably a little stronger than the hatch, but the hatch is probably better for less wind drag. (not totally sure on this one, just seems logical.)
So, having said all that, go with what YOU like, what you want, and what you think is the best. Although, I would stay away from the 93 Cobra due to a lack luster computer, and more pricey - I'd save money buy purchasing an LX (notch...hehe) and buying some good heads, cam, exhaust, etc.
Good luck with your decision and welcome to the board.
