There are other reviewers who preferred the FR-S/BRZ. Paul and Todd from Everyday Driver both liked the FR-S better (and Todd eventually bought one for himself). In the Motortrend comparison that the Miata won, two of the three staff writers actually preferred the FR-S.

Both are obviously fantastic cars, but like you said the Miata's light steering and body roll can put people off. Personally I'd love to test drive one, but I couldn't see myself ever buying one over a dirt cheap NA/NB.
