comps or thesis?

I just had a meeting with my psychopathology professor (the class I got an A-). He basically told me that A and A- are not that much different. I was screaming in my head, "they are very different...at least to me! it determines whether I have to take the comps or not!!!" I told him a little bit about my situation, and he understood how much the difference between A and A- mean to me. Then, he was like, "well, why would you even bother to do research master's? You are already taking research methods. If you take the comps, you'll be entering the clinical program clean. but if you did research master's, you have to do a thesis."

Hmmm...this kinda makes sense. I'm already taking research methods class and I can't drop it any more because the drop/add deadline has passed.
1. regular path: take the comps
2. research master's path: no comps but I have to write and defend a thesis.
but wait...I can turn the project I will be working on for my methods class as a thesis...omg...I think it's still better to do research master's because I won't have to take the comps.

Well, good thing about the comps here at GF is that it's so much easier than the ones at Ohio U. Most people actually pass them. Considering I don't have to take the super difficult comps at OU nor defend a thesis, maybe I should consider this as a good deal. ....or, is it?
