I'll take a different tack: If you like Ghost Recon, then you'll probably prefer Rainbow Six 3 over Splinter Cell Pandora Tomorrow unless you're looking for something completely different.
RS:3 is a first-person shooter, plain and simple. Tactics, weapons and game types are different than in GR and GR:Island Thunder, but they're both first-person shooters.
SCPT is NOT a first-person shooter. It's an espionage game. When working as a spy, you don't want to use your gun. You want to be stealthy and sneak up behind and jump on mercenaries from above, breaking their necks.
SCPT also is not an easily accessible game online like GRIT and RS:3. You will be confused as hell and ineffective until you learn the maps and find partners with whom you can devise good tactics. RS:3 also requires tactical sense and teamwork, but knowledge of the maps isn't nearly as important. You can jump right in and be competitive. That's not the case for SCPT unless you're a stealth-game freak.
Take care,

I think you nailed it for me, PK.
I don't think I'd be a big stealth guy, since I hated Metal Gear Solid. I have WAY too much fun with GR:IT and since RS3 is a FPS squad-based game as well, I think I'll go with it.
I appreciate the insight from everyone who posted - thanks for the advice!
