I own a 2SS, and while I haven't driven the 1SS 1 LE, I can tell you the 2SS is a fun car for sure, with tons of torque.
I finally got to drive a manual M2 this past weekend, and I really liked it. Very different car from my camaro (as expected). I didn't get to hit any really nice roads and see what the M2 could really do, but from what I experienced I liked enough to pull the trigger on the M2 and sell my Camaro.
I'm sick of the visibility issue with the Camaro-- which is a non issue when the top is down of course-- but otherwise with the top up, it gets a bit old.
I wasn't overly impressed with the exhaust note on my friend's M2 (sans MPE), compared to my camaro, which I absolutely love and will miss. I am definitely getting the MPE.
AT the end of the day, I liked but didn't love -- my 2SS. Perhaps I would have felt differently had I bought the 1LE, but I doubt it. The suspension would have been a bit different, along with the brakes and bigger tires, but I'm not sure that would have been enough for me to love the car and not take the M2 plunge, which was my original plan last year
