Having said all this, it doesn't mean that the Cyclone S won't be quick...
Yes the T2R does seem to have a more upgrades. But if the cost is around $200 it would be a steal at that price. Even the Cyclone S at $150 seems really good... What I really like is that with the cost of high end touring cars being close to or over $400, the companies (Tamiya, Xray, Hot Bodies) have identified that people cannot always afford that. So with them producing similar kits for about 40-50 percent of the cost of a full blown car is a move in the right direction!!
