The biggest difference between the two is the tires, the S2000 actually came with performance tires, the BRZ not so much. The BRZ does have good handling characteristics but the tires do hold it back from good magazine numbers.
FYI, I have driven both extensively.

Although, the BRZ did seem to get off the line better, even with worse tires.
I think it's fair to compare these as some will look to buy a used S2000 over a new BRZ or FR-S. I would also like to see them compare it to an RX-8 although I have no interest in buying anything other than an FR-S.
