I am 6'5 and sat in both just yesterday. Sounds crazy but IMO, the IS has more headroom. My head hits the roof in the GS. For the past couple years I ignored it but its obvious I would have to adjust my seat in the GS to not hit my head.

The GS is the fuel economy choice and has more room for others, with a smallish trunk.
The "F" destroys the "h" from a drivers standpoint and interesting standpoint, not even close. Backseat room is laughable.

I have an IS 250 loaner now and I fit just fine.

A GS-F would be fantastic.

I haven't voted yet and I've followed this thread from day one b/c I CANNOT chose.

Seriously, both are serious considerations for my next car along with gulp the IS 250 I'm driving.

I just don't like how in the IS, the roof seems to point in at an angle making it seem a lot smaller than it is... I also noticed when I'm driving my GS , I have the seat as low as it goes and the back of the seat is slightly back a bit... It feels as if my field of vision is almost at the top of the windshield... I think us tall people need the LS 460

I guess I was used to driving my dad's 2007 GX 470...
