I think with the other car options on the market it is harder to justify FI. For ~$7000, you can swap your Z for a Mustang, and basically get the results of FI on the Z, plus more headroom.

I've generally not been impressed with the results of FI on the Z as well. I know the SC works well for guys like Kirk who autocross a lot, and I've actually toyed with the idea of SC just because I've never owned a supercharged car. I still don't really think I can justify the inevitable issues that often come with forced induction, when I could pick up a warrantied vehicle that would perform on the same level.
