3.0CSi or CSL ?? (archive)

We live in New Zealand, where we enjoy an excellent classic car climate with numerous clubs and many events organised. I have owned a '79 635CSi with retrag 5 spd box, which I drove the family around in, used for work and even participated with in some classic race events. Only approx US$60 for a weekend's racing: practise on the Sat'day and some 3 to 5x races on the Sunday of 4 to 6 laps each.
Had a TR4A for several yrs, but felt somewhat vulnerable in that and now seriously considering a proper car again. It's between a 2002Tii, 3.0CSi or CSL
and I am most keen on one of the coupes. However there aren't many available here in N.Z. and I am considering buying one ex the U.K.. For the extra money should I get a CSL, are they that much 'better', eg. desirable to have or should I concentrate on a reasonable and fair 3.0CSi ?? It's boing to be a 'fast' road car with some classic racing thrown in.
Looking forward to hearing some expert advise.
Regards,
Frans
