From a technical standpoint you should be good on track. Nissan made sure the Verts chassis is almost as rigid as the coupe. The coupes advantages are minor but the coupe is better for track days for safety reasons.. From a personal preference standpoint. I prefer the coupe.

If you compare a touring/sport coupe to a base R (if you could find one) perhaps it < 100 lbs but most R's are at least touring, many loaded.
Some stats (doesn't list sport which is a bit heavier with larger wheel/tire IIRC):
Coupe:
Base 6MT: 3,232
Base Auto: 3,269
Touring 6MT: 3,278
Touring Auto: 3,314
Roadster:
Base 6MT: 3,426
Base Auto: 3,449
Touring 6MT: 3,497
Touring Auto: 3,489
The R doesn't have too much cowl shake and is a great street roadster but its no coupe in terms of rigidity. This isn't a carbon tube based MP4
