The S2000 comparatively will bite you once you step over the edge if you don't catch it in that split second you have to react, and the limit with my modified S2000 was so high that it took a LOT to hit the limit but once it did go over it really went over. I've spun the S2000 multiple times at auto-x, and had many brown pants moments on track.

That sounds pretty good to me!
I could never feel much from my AP1 either, after so many years of driving it on track. The best investments I made were a massive front sway bar and stuffing the fenders full of R-compound. Just to push away the limit, as an avoidance thing. For fear that I wouldn't be able to catch the next sudden step-out, and have the car spin me into the wall.
Having communication through the chassis, a wide band of controllability leading up to the limit, and a sustainable slip angle sounds like a lot of fun
