I agree that the TSX isn't worth the extra expense over the Accord. In fact, the TSX is called the Euro Accord abroad. You're getting better fuel economy on regular, and have better power and torque. Your 0-60 time is about 1 second faster too, if 6 seconds is really how quick the car can go.
The TSX is a phenomenal car though. My only complaints:
1. Turning radius of a bus
2. Needs more sound deadening
3. 6th gear is pointless for both racing and fuel economy (needs to be taller).
I'm running it with regular fuel since the manual states it's ok, and I don't run it hard. I can tell the very subtle difference between the fuel grades though, and I notice the timing is retarded a bit on lower octane fuels.
I choose the car before I learned the power of the spreadsheet.
