There's a reason you bought the Blackwing.. because it checked off so many of the right boxes at its price point. The way I see it, the only way you will get a different but equally entertaining driving experience at $55k will be with a used 981 Cayman or Boxster.
They are light and balanced machines, providing a great driving experience on tight roads. They drive differently from the Backwing as you can't easily get their asses out, but the way they tuck into a turn with the mid engine balance is very nice. Build quality is superb, sound is incredible. Power with an S model is "enough" to enjoy those tight, twisty roads. Also they are actually very reliable cars. I never had any issues during my ownership. I owned a 2014 S, sold it during the pandemic price spike for a good profit, then regretted it. Ultimately, I have two kids under 10 and so the BW (which I'm waiting for) will allow me to take them with me on fun drives. Otherwise, I'd try and source another Cayman.
