I have a red gen 1 R/T and i just bought a GTS ,and i like both.They are two different beasts yet share a big cool factor. In your case i like the blue and white GTS. My 99 GTS is red with grey stripes. I like the blue white theme better.
I also have a red 99 GTS with silver grey stripes.I own a 94 RT/10 too
...In my case the GTS is my choice for drivability and i tend to like it's looks better (i think).It just has more comforts,but when i feel the urge to loose the beast,i take the RT/10 out and even with the wind buffeting through the windows it feels like i am the baddest ass on the planet. Two different feelings and both feel great! imo i think you should go with the GTS for less money and use the extra to mod it up some. I understand my gen 1 RT/10 is a rougher beast than a 01 would be,but you always wanted a GTS,so go for it! Congrats either way!
