If you enjoy your s2000, I don’t see a reason to trade for an 86, especially if it would cost you money to do it. The main advantages of the 86 are the fixed roof for track days and the practicality (interior space, cargo space, quieter, security). And looks since you mentioned that. Only you can decide whether those things are worth the price of trading in. Just know that if you want the 86 to match the s2000’s performance, you also need to factor in the cost of mods.

Not sure what else to tell you that hasn’t already been said. I enjoy driving my FRS more than my friends mostly stock AP2 s2000 and my car is faster (canyons and especially track), but my FRS has many more mods. But it was worth it for me since I needed the practicality of the FRS and I’d make the same choice again in a heartbeat. But if you already have the s2000 and it’s practical enough for you, I wouldn’t switch unless there was a compelling reason to do so.
