When I started out I had the same Sport vs PSA dilemma. I went with the Sport 1/9 twist and later built a PSA 1/7 twist (Voodoo Innovations melonite barrel). I have found they shoot the same with the ammo I find in the stores. So unless your reloading heavier grain ammo, you'll probably find for your use twist rate will be a wash.
I am compelled to say, the Sport is a great rifle. I love my PSA as well, but thought I needed to build it because I believed that having a midlenght and 1/7 twist would get me some gain in accuracy and recoil reduction. I was wrong. The only real benefits over the Sport I see in having the PSA is that it gives me an additional/ different to shoot. The Sport performs!!! I have yet to shoot with someone with a rifle that outshined the Sport.
