What didn't you like about the Exige? Haven't driven one in anger myself yet, but the want is strong just now even if it would mean getting rid of the Evora and Elise to get it!
It was a lot of little things (and it may have been me - i still hate cars where you have to ask the computer nicely before it will do anything for you).
I felt the ride was very hard and crashy (but that could be down to tyre pressures, the factory ones for the 220 are far too high).
I didn't like the fact that you couldn't heel and toe unless the car was in Sport mode, in Normal mode it just wouldn't blip.
I wasn't that fond of the driving position - it was closed in with not a lot of elbow room - but that probably applies to most cars these days apart from the Elise.
Finally - the price was pretty stupid too - £80+ k - there was an Exige there at £121 K !!
I know i'm an old git but that's way to steep for a Lotus for me. - you could buy a high spec 911 for that money and have 20k left.
The Evora i drove a couple of years ago (i think it was a 400) felt like a much better car to me (but they're stupid money now too).
