That is why I don't think you will ever get a black and white answer to a very gray question.
If handling is such a grey question then why do most people agree the twins handle well? I think a good handling car is mostly black/white, sure some drivers will like slightly different setups for different driving styles but the majority of car people will agree whether a car has good handling or not.

For example swapping out the engine for something that weighs 50% more without doing any other changes would ruin the car. The car would have slower corner speeds.

I thought the main purpose of a forum was to discuss experiences and share knowledge. Sure different people will have different opinions on the same thing but with a large enough sample size you generally get a decent feel for what to expect.
