This is especially relevant considering that the vast majority of people don't live near a major venue (e.g., VIR). I'd venture that most track days are held at smaller club circuits. For example, here in SoFL, Palm Beach International Raceway is very popular. The long circuit is only 2 mi, and it's on the long side for a club circuit. Hockenheim Short is 1.6 mi. 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.
