You're not guaranteed to experience any problems. It's still a relative minority of owners who have had this problem. Test drive the car first and do a lot of 4th to 3rd downshifts, especially while turning.
If it always goes in smooth, then you should have no problem with it.
And as far as Honda's go, the 3rd gear synchro on my wife's '07 Civic Si is just about as bad as my SRT's was, and she does not beat on the car at all. I was over on the RSX forums, and apparely a lot of Type S's had problems with 3rd gear.
So the SRT is no worse off than a Honda in that respect :P
