I didn't know it was a competition
The MR-S is a better package from the factory in terms of handling, weight, agility, etc. Also, it's newer and more reliable. The power is the con with the MR-S but I've still looked for one off and on with plans to swap motors.
The biggest con of the MR-S for me is simple the roadster part. It's mostly useless in Florida as it's too damn hot 90% of the year to bother dropping the top yet the sun/elements wear it out so you still have to replace it/care for it/etc. Extra work for something that's basically worthless here.
Those people who love humid air, high dew points and high temps I guess will love that part.
