I have driven a few S2000's (including a nice supercharged one) but the Miata felt more 'fun'. I ended up buying it, even though it has a few deficiencies, for 3500$.
I can agree with the above statement. My brother has an NB miata and dad has an AP1 S2000. The S2000 is kind of scary, it tricks you by having no low end torque, but when you get on it in a turn it kicks out the rear end really quickly. However, the S2000 sounds incredible and is more fun in a tunnel/straight line. The miata is more fun in the turns, you can go full throttle and not have to worry about losing traction/drifting.

I drive very differently when I get in a RWD convertible

Didn't even notice the suit until others pointed it out. I want to have a suit to wear while riding my motorcycle, that would be FUN! Except for the helmet situation. Mine would be of Shiron.

You should add the PNU (pool noodle upgrade) to your planned mods list. Stuff a noodle under the rear bumper, supposedly reduces rear lift and helps mileage. Did it on the bro's miata, but that thing doesn't see much highway, so I can't tell a difference. You can also adjust the idle speed on the NA miatas.

+1 for aero hard top. If only they were cheaper...
