Fair enough 
Leaving subjection in the matter creates a world of problems then. I guess someone could subjectively say a Prius handles better than say, an Elise then? I see what you're saying, but I'm trying to remove as many variables as possible. Given the difference in power performance, and similar say... nurburgring lap times, it would leave one to assume that where the s2000 lacks in power, it makes up in handling and vice versa. I'd be a fool to try and argue a subjective argument, though as it is.... subjective.
Although from driving both, I'd be hard-pressed to imagine the front-lift induced understeer as being "appealing" but to each their own

I think it just comes down to semantics. What the S2000 lacks in straight line speed, it makes up for in cornering speed (which is altogether different from handling).

A good autocross car does not make a good road race car and vice versa.
I'm sure a few Miatas owners could also relate. shifter karts as well.

S2000 corner speeds are definately higher. From my track experiences, the classic S2000 vs. EVO/STi situation is that the S2000 is significantly faster in the corners. Even a slightly power modded STi or EVO will BLAST past the S2000 on the straights, though.
So the lap times end up being pretty similar. Stock to stock, I'd bet lap times are usually within a second of each other....and it could go either way.
