If my friend informed me correctly, the LS was the second trim level. The order was:

RS
LS
GS
GS-R

The biggest reason most people wanted the LS over the GS is simply the overall weight of the car. The GS weighed as much from the factory as the GS-R, but had the LS motor. From my understanding, everyone figured "Why get a GS when I can get a GS-R?" or "Why get the GS when its the same thing as an LS but weighs more?"...

If Im wrong, then sorry. But from what I was told, it makes sense. It would also explain why you didnt get a rear spoiler or alloy wheels.

Congrats on the purchase, those are my favorite years for 'tegs.
