Fwiw, I owned two AP1s and an AP2, the AP2 is the better car and s2000, the ap1 is the better novelty with its unusual 9000 redline. They're also discernibly faster, and moderately easier to drive day to day. Also of the 9k was missed, a tune will remedy that. The 06+ ap2s are the ones to get.
That said, I preferred driving an 86 in every way except the fa20 which just left me underwhelmed. I'm sure that topic has been beat to death here so I'll leave it as I'm hopeful for the fa24.

I test-drove a 2017 in the process of helping my brother in law buy a BRZ (he doesn't drive stick yet) and the steering and suspension are just far superior - like you said, the FA20 is adequate, but not outstanding (which puts it below the average on the BRZ/86).
Haven't had a chance to drive a AP2 sadly (mine is an AP1)
