Yes - best thing to do is just to drive both and see which you prefer...

As for tuning options, if you're looking at tuning a second hand R53 then I think most people here would recommend going aftermarket. The JCW kit is expensive (you're looking at £3.5k+ fitted) and it's primary advantage of keeping the warranty would now be becoming less relevant. You can change the pulley and plugs for about £500 which will give you the same or more power as the JCW kit, so for most people it's a no-brainer.
