The most practical advice that someone can give you on ST185 vs. ST205 is that the 3rd generation 3sgte was never used in a production car imported to America. As such, there are some parts that you will have to import when your car needs to be worked on. I looked for a long time for a finite list of parts that would need to be imported before I gave up. In that search, a reputable source told me that nearly every part in the head was different. That was enough for me to decide to go with the second generation 3sgte which is essentially the same engine that is in the 91-95 MR2 Turbos - just a better turbo. Now I know if I need parts, I can just call a U.S. Toyota dealer without the worry of importing (or go to a U.S. junkyard). Also, the swap is said to be easier for the 2nd gen - but you only need to worry about that if you are doing it yourself.
