Which shop manual should i buy??

Looking to get opinions on what shop manual to buy...I am looking to get the dealership one.That cost around 75 to 100 bucks. My delima is i have a 92' RS but a have a 89' TPI set up on it. If i am thinking correctly, even though the the car is probably 90% a 92' model, i'de be better off getting the 89' service manual since 89' dealt with MASS and the 92' shop munual would deal with SD. Anyone have any opinions on which one i'de be better off getting??? .I really don't want to plop down 150 to 200 bucks for manuals.

By the '89 one....I've worked on my TBI'ed 91 with it, so far haven't come across anything that didn't line up...i/e even all the ECM pinouts are correct.

Too bad you missed the sale at http://www.helminc.com awhile back, you could have bought both for about $80 total, I bought one for my 92 then, and it's invaluable to have handy.
