Do you guys consider your "sticky" brake as good or bad? It's funny one of the review I read calling it "sticky" brakes and they put it under con.
It's not sticky, it's just very sensitive.
sticky = when the brake doesn't let go.
sensitive = a soft touch and brake apply right away. Doesn't need to floor it for the brake start to apply.

I'd describe the brakes as "grabby". The initial bite when depressing the pedal isn't the same as a non electronic setup. Harder to modulate at first and IMO, not as progressive as fully mechanical systems. It was the only real thing on mine I had to get used to. I appreciate the stopping power and immediacy, but it took some getting used to.
I agree with the others here -- I'll give you my GS 430 when you pry it from my cold, dead hands. 
I can see why they are hard to find. There were only 5,650 of them made, but 5 times as many GS 300s. (These are stats for model year 2006 built in 2005. The build ratio was about the same in 2006 production, but not sure when the model year changed to 2007. That's when the GS 450h was added.)
