Doubt most people will see a 6K difference on a 27K car as a "bit more" - that is about a 22% jump. You'd have to be really hung up on branding to think that premium was worth it just to change badges. (A buyer so well-off that 6K made no difference to them would likely be buying a 370Z/TT/BMW Z/Cayman anyways.)
As you say, time will tell.
