I would like to take it to the track but it will only be a couple of times a year, and I would like to have all the options as well as all the performance of the NISMO and the look as well!!

and I love the new Roadster as well!! I can get all the comforts there and then some (cooled seats!!), and with open air driving, but I wouldn't take that one to the track. plus I like look of the nismo better.

decisions decisions!!

I don't understand these 2 choices really? One is a pretty much factory track car that you can street. Hence they pull all the extra stuff out of it reduce weight as much as possible so on and so forth all for the purpose of the Track! The ride comfort between the Nismo and the Coupe is probably a big difference too as the Nismo ride is going to be very harsh with the stiffer suspension. The Nismo is Track purpose designed!

The Roadster is for someone that takes creature comforts over performance but still loves some performance and the look of the car they love flair and flash and don't care about weight or any of those things.

This is really 2 opposite sides of the spectrum that your asking about. Many companies make track cars that are streetable these days. Just see the Top Gear episode were they Test the Motorsport Porsche 911 GT3 and the Ferrari 430 (I think).

This is not a comparison of base versus sport package or base+sport versus Sport+touring. The weight difference is like 50 LBS. But the roadster is much heavier.
