'96 vs. '98 Integra - advice?

I'm shopping for a used Integra, and I've basically narrowed it down to
a couple of choices. They're both LS models - a '98 with 72K, and a
'96 with '74K. Both in very good condition, both with cloth interior,
both on original clutch and timing belt so no advantage there.

Here's my dilemma - I can get the '96 for about $5500, and the '98 for
$6800. Obviously there's some value difference based on the model
year, but is there any significant mechanical or features-based reason
why a '98 with the same miles should be better? Both are clean titles
on the second owner. I don't see any major changes on the specs over
those two years - though unless I'm mistaken I believe the '96 actually
has 15" wheels vs. 14's on the '98.

Which do you guys think is the better deal? Thanks for the advice.
