What is the fascination with a high-revving engine?

I do not want a high-revving engine in my DD. Having all the umph in the last 2-3k RPM range makes for a boring car to drive every day. I'm not going to bounce it off the rev limiter on my way to work everyday.

Sure, it sounds cool and gives you that push back in the seat. But I'd rather have an engine with a flat torque curve that "only" goes to 7k instead of an uninspiring engine below 5k that I need to get on to feel the power.

I guess it also depends if this car is going to be your weekend toy or a daily driver.
