The NTK sensors that honda uses last a super long time though, mine has past 180,000 miles and its the original, still working fine. Also I'm currently using only the second cat and its running great without any issues or CELS.

Ha, my engine/tranny setup is the opposite. I'm rocking the Hx engine with a Ex tranny and still getting great results.

Oh, also keep in mind that the weight penalty of the Ex, those "trim" features add up really fast. In 1996 the Ex is almost 170lbs fatter that the Hx. And if you look @ the numbers the hatchbacks look a little better. As the models get newer the weight increases also, the first year, 1996, has the lightest chassis in the "ek" category.
