No all I've said is that additional weight will hurt performance. How they negate that will generally result in compromises elsewhere, trade-offs the term you used. Likely tyre wear & maybe brake wear will be the G87's main compromises.
I am intrigued though, why would the N55 (as compared to S55) make it less likely that someone could feel the affects of having a passenger in the car?

Overall it’s a little hard to figure out what you’re arguing because I’m talking about a finished product and you seem to be talking about a hypothetical that doesn’t exist.
Why would you feel it more on the N55? Because it’s got less power. It’s always more noticeable with less power. I say it mainly because that was my experience in South Carolina when I drove both with a passenger. I thought I felt it on the top end. It’s not an instrumented test so could easily be placebo and I wasn’t driving solo back-to-back.
