The Elise SC, EXIGE 240S and S2000 CR are not even close to the same league as the
R35 GTR. The GTR is a bargain at $70K. The issue is that the cost of ownership has yet to be defined but based on all the stipulations and quirks thus far, the cost are going to be substantial.
Although ugly IMO, (I own an 04 AP2 S2000) the S2000 "CR" has proven handling characteristics above the standard 08 model. Ugly or not, I would still choose it over a base model Elise.
The Elise SC will give you plenty of power and the top down experience you are looking for.
The biggest factor will be what you are using the car for, Daily? Weekend?
IMO, I'd go for the Exige 240S and take the hard top off every now and then. You get the power, looks, handling and the sunshine when you want it.
