From what I gather the Supra is more a GT car, faster, heavier but more refined. BRZ is lighter, raw and more engaging, but slower.

Right on!
Still waiting for my GR86 but I’ve driven a 2nd Gen BRZ about 10 miles and like 80% of full throttle and I was able to conclude right away I enjoy it better than the GR Supra (3.0).
The Supra is missing the tactility that the twins have, a big reason is the manual transmission. If the Twins were automatic-only just like the GR Supra and money wasn’t a factor I’d probably take the GR Supra because having that usable power and torque can be pretty enjoyable.
But in the real world if you pit automatic twins vs GR Supra, the twins are still amazing bang for buck and I’d easily choose to save the $20,000+.
