I'm kinda on the exact same boat.

I never owned S2k but every single time I saw a White S2k, part of wanted that car badly. One of my friend (a previous supermod here) had a White s2000. I drove that thing here and there when I had my 350Z. It's basically a street legal kart. It handled like a kart. It was a lot of fun driving. Yes it was basically a Civic pre 4000 rpm but from 6000 to 9000, it screamed! If I somehow get a hold of a nice taken care of white S2000 (like the one you sold 11thumper ) , I don't think I'll let it go . I def get it. . I am hoping that Honda will bring back a similar car soon. I think they killed s2k in 2008. So, 3-5 year R&D and maybe something new in 2013 or 2014? who knows
