Well to get it rolling:
The day I saw a 95 240sx I wanted one. I was 11 years old. I had always loved the SC but it was so expensive I didn't forsee getting one for a LOOONG time.
The cars were so similar in appearance. The 240 was like a lightweight model of the SC and the SC was more of a luxo comfy version.
When I finally started building my 240 the way I wanted it I realized I was building an SC. Leather seats, turbo inline 6 etc.
My daily driver 96 240sx was stolen so I decided it was time to buy my SC. I was really blessed to find a low mileage 5-speed which was one of my "realistic" dream cars.
I still own both and it is too early to say which I prefer since I have not started modifying my SC really (at least power wise).
But so far (my opinion of course):
Power:
Stock: SC
Comfort: SC
Handling: 240
Style: SC
Practicality: 240
Reliability: 240 I disagree brosef. My SC has been 1000x more reliable
Ease of repair: 240 I disagree here to. yes its exspensive but the repairs i have done have gone nice and smooth. My 240 was a rusty retarded nightmare
Aftermarket: 240
Power options: 240
Unwanted attention: SC
Carrying Capacity: 240
Fuel Economy: Meh toss up? 240 on this one vs V8
Safety: SC Definitely our hoods and doors could be used as a bomb shelter if we ever have a nuclear war

hello,
lets see here I had a 98 240sx (S14) then switch over to a 89 240 fastback (RPS13) for drifting and daily but it got to the point that my car was only for Drifting (it was getting to eye catching from police and other things
) So I decided to get an SC for my daily and sometimes when i get lazy taking out the 240 for events.
Cant find any of my 98 240sx pix but here is my fastback. I also got Behrman/Wise s15 GP Spec Pro bumper and Sides (custom cut the sides to fit) for it
