Off topic, but what is the diff?

I know, I know, it's not a third gen, but this is the only way I could think of to get an honest answer. What is the diff between a fourth gen formula and a fourth gen T/A? I know they seem to have the same power. What diff is there? I found both in the buy & sell, and want to know if it's worth paying the extra for the T/A or if it's only small things like leather int. or something. The main thing I like about the formula over the t/a is it has a 6 spd instead of auto.

Any info would really help.
Thanks, Jay
