Coming from a p5, Mazda3 hatch or MS3?

:
2002 Mazda Protege5
Hey everyone, I currently own a 2002 protege5. I'm in the market for an upgrade... my car is currently automatic and I'm extremely bored. I've always wanted a manual car and now is the chance to have one. I'm not too experienced on driving manual but I can get around. I am currently looking at the mazda3 s hatch or the ms3 as potential upgrades. I will be getting a loan from my insurance company and I'm 20. I make enough money to be comfortable making payments as well. Ms3's are hard to come by from what I see in my market and they're a little bit out of my range.... Now are newer mazda3 sports (2010-12) that much of a difference in performance or....? I'm leaning towards taking the sport so I can save some cash but if i Have the opportunity to shell out for a ms3 I'd do it. Granted if the sport is not much of a difference I'd definitely be happy with that as well. Opinions?

Thanks
