I switched from a modded 1st gen (slightly lightened, E85, coilovers, BBK) to a 2nd gen. The 2nd gen is a bit faster and torquier, but it's not a night/day difference from the driver's seat. Just enough to be noticeable. Objectively it's like 2 car lengths in a 5-90mph roll. Compared against a stock 1st gen the difference is a lot more noticeable and probably 4-5 car lengths.
The bigger difference is the interior refinement and torque around town, both of which I'm surprised that I appreciate. Steering feel is lighter and you loose a bit of feedback. Seats are a little less supportive. Neither are deal-breakers to me, just small changes. I sold my 1st gen to Carvana for $18k. Bought my 2nd gen for $28k + TTL. I'm glad to have made the switch, but 1st gen with some weight reduction and E85 is honestly a lot of fun as well.

That picture also shows why I like GEN1 more than GEN2. Basically it looks like you took the GEN1 and tacked on a whole bunch of Ebay mods to get to GEN2.
Yes, I know not everyone agrees with that, and it's cool, but once I saw it, I couldn't unsee it.

Would getting the oil tested tell you anything about the reliability going forward of the high mileage motor?

Wasn't the point but I will agree to disagree.

intial oil testing will give you a baseline, which can then can be compared to other vehicles of similar mileages. repeated oil testing as mileage progresses will give you an expected rate of wear, and indicate if anything starts going drastically out of spec. but say an engine was beat to the end of it's life and back, flushed, refilled, and ran nicely for the next few oil changes. the UOA will likely come back as standard and now not show any serious signs of the past abuse, instead showing standard wear..
