I have not seen the R yet, but did look at the S60 when I was looking for a new car. The R is only about $2-3K more then the standard S60 and all you get is 90hp, a better suspension, and better seats.
The suspension on the Vector was way better then the base S60, the R would be on the same level as the SS more then likly.
The seats in the Vector are also better then the S60, and from the pics, the R looks to be about the same as the Vector.
So to me in the long run all you get for the extra money is 90hp over the Vector. Also, Volvo's never seem to handle as well as the other cars in the class. The base SS outhandled the base S60, so I'm betting the Vector will out handle the R.
In the end I think it is which one you like more. The price defferance is not that great. It is the same with the Audi A4 also. Now the new S4 beats them both, for about $10k more.
