More to come later, but I have to say I don't know where you're getting the idea that the F20C has a narrower powerband than the FA20.
If you define it as the range where an engine makes at least 80% of its peak power output, the FA20's powerband is from 5200-7400rpm (a 2200rpm wide band), whereas the F20C's powerband is from 6300 to 9000 (a 2700rpm wide band).

The FA20's powerband is actually narrower. And of course the F20C is making 160-200rwhp in its powerband vs. the FA20 making 138-173rwhp (a.k.a. "a lot less") in its powerband.

If you have a problem keeping the revs up (easiest thing in the world to do), then the S2000 is definitely not for you. But then again neither is the FR-S/BRZ, really.
