This is a good assessment. Allow me to add...

The M2C has great steering precision, as well as great steering response from the chassis. No doubt about this.

However, in the M2C, as cornering limits are approached, the feeling of the front tires losing grip is communicated more by the chassis, rather than through fine indications transmitted through the steering wheel, as great hydraulic steering systems certainly accomplished.
