Only reason I can think of buying an N/A 6 vs EB 4 would be cost... some people do buy cars simply for the looks and don't care about performance... But yes, agree with what you are saying about a EB I-4 vs a N/A V6...

Our Flex is actually my wife's DD... i test drove the NA V6 and it was fine... it was certainly peppy enough for the wife! But then I drove the EB version... Was quite a bit more $$$ than the NA one, but I knew I would kick myself if I didn't' go with the EB!!!
