M2 vs MX-5 Miata

Yeah, different cars, number of seats, price points, etc. But I got a chance to drive a 2016 MX-5 today and really enjoyed it. The 6-speed is fantastic. The car felt (and is) very lightweight and nimble. Not a lot of bells and whistles, which I actually liked, and you can open / close the top in about 5 seconds while seated inside the car.

I'm not sure if I would miss the power, but in some ways the Miata made getting to the speed limit on surface streets fun again (a task that took about 3 seconds on my M3). The ~$20k savings over an M2 is tempting too. Anyone else driven this car?
