I was thinking about going soon, but it just doesn't seem like a good idea tbh. The spread of speed/car/ability is too diverse. I'd rather pay for a track day there, expensive but worth it.
None of the hatches made are attractive (except maybe the 197). But none are offensive. The 200 is a visual assault. Vomit worthy. I hope to never catch a reflection when mine arrives ;).
I wouldn't in all honesty. By all accounts the 200 is better, but better enough to consider changing for a far uglier car?

Sales "You have no preference??"
