I would advise you to do a good bit of research or take the car to a mechanic very familiar with the s2000. While your miss-shift undoubtedly caused damage, it's hard to tell where the damage has been done without pulling the motor apart. You more than likely bent/dropped valves which would cause more damage to the bottom end than the head.

Not trying to come off the wrong way, but I hate to see people talking themselves into expensive replacements when repairs/rebuilds are all that's necessary. If someone told you that you "blew the head" when you downshifted, ask for a more accurate explanation of the problem, and bring that information here, to the site.
There are plenty of people here with the knowledge to guide you in the right direction. Sometimes, a replacement is absolutely necessary. More often than not, there is a cheaper and just as satisfactory solution.
