The S2k had not only the hand-built F20c, but also a *much* better chassis, electric power top, and 6MT. In addition, it was a lower volume car. Lastly, note that the S2k was more than the Miata 10AE by your $4-5k figure.
As far as it being pricey, if you look at most sports car from years ago and adjust for inflation, the costs seem ridiculous.
I maintain that for its time, and for what it was (a street legal race-car that provided Porsche and BMW roadster performance), the S2000 was reasonably priced.
