911 turbo to Exige?

[Brinyan]

Currently have a 996 turbo, but can't help thinking I could get more fun from an Exige.
The Porsche is very well built, very reliable and doesn't hang around when it's time to get going. It is, however, quite a heavy car and feels it on smaller, twisty roads.
Wondering if anyone has gone from a 996 to an Exige and has any regrets or opinions. I'm not very knowledgeable on the Exige. Love the look of series 1, but guess a series 2 would be a more usable and available option, Exige S seems to tick the box.
I'm yet to drive an Exige, but intend to do so shortly, to see if It's as good as I hope.

Thanks for that. Exige sounds great - why tempted to sell though? Interesting you drove the s2, then opted for an s1. I'm assuming the s2 to be a tad more usable and reliable, though I may be wrong. The fact that there's a Toyota engine is leading me with that view.
I drove a couple of Nobles prior to getting the Turbo and just loved them. Still do. But, it seems as though a lot of time is spent keeping them going, on a DIY basis, which I don't have time to do at present.
Always seen the Exige as such a nimble, special car.

Thanks all, it's good and interesting to hear different views.
I realise they are very different cars and both have merits in their own right.
Going away soon, so once back will get behind the wheel and make decisions.
