like most have already stated. they're two very different cars and depends on what you want.
I've driven a friends and these are my inputs.
GTR
-DCT really not much to complain about (except makes a bit transmission noise).
-you have to drive it more carefully (scraping is more of an issue)
-more cabin noise (1M seems more refined)
-can be driven normally/daily (takes only a touch of throttle to remind you why its called the Godzilla)
-major street presence
-performance (sure this isn't RWD and light, but there is no getting away from the fact that its a SERIOUS performance machine. It has never failed to put a smile on my face or made passengers grab for the nonexistent "ohshit" handle. I still get amazed every time i feel full throttle. did some pulls and tracked together...cant really compare at all there haha)
1M
-6MT (pro or con based on what you want)
-don't have to worry too much about scraping and good all rounder
-great little RWD driver oriented handling
-rarity/special value
