The TC is cheaper, but much slower. The TC has 160 hp and a curb weight of 2905 lbs. The power-weight ratio is about 18. And since the car is cheaper, you get a cheaper interior. Then again, everything about the car's material is cheap since they know people are going to mod it. The supercharger will give it that nice boost, but then the car will be in the 20K range.
The SI is might be more expensive than the base TC, but you do get a better interior and more power. Since Honda uses (rev. 8/04) SAE standards, you cannot compare the horsepower between the SI and TC. Right now under new SAE standards, the SI has 197 hp. If the SI was using the old SAE standards, it might be around 210 hp. The curb weight for the SI is 2877 lbs, which is lighter than the TC.
Personally I would go for the SI.

That right there is a though one. I have a Scion tC that I had shipped over to Europe making super spacial because it does not exist over here. Woohoo! But if I had a Choice I would love to ride both it is hard to decide, they are both sexy and reliable cars. What you will have to decide is what specifically you are looking to get out of your car. I recommend you do some research and even go test drive the cars before jumping to any decision. Some times it is small things that make a car special.
Either way I hope you enjoy the ride

SI, nice car, good engine, go test drive one you will love it. TC is good looking, but stupid, engine it bigger yet lower HP, that is a clue on a low end engine.
