The M2 is, IMO, a very good choice for people who want to go club racing, but don't have the budget for a new Cayman S.
Apart from the budget(In my country an M2 is from € 80k and a Cayman S from € 90k to start with so that shouldn't be the biggest problem) , the M2 is 0.6s faster than a 981 Cayman S @ Hockenheim Short, and because of FR layout and more torque it can and will be more fun for many(like me), but I get what you're saying. I also think an M2 is 100 times more eyecandy than any Cayman except for GT4, sorry....
