Once again generalizing but I don't know of any engine combination you can order with a new SPF for under $70K and you go roush go to 80k plu with top, tonnea, side windows, heater, defroster. Another generalization when fully depreciated a SPF within 10 years old and stroker engine (majority being Roush or KC) is $55-65K and BDR is 40-50K, generalizing again due to a new BDR going for $55k and in the end the SPF is a more robust car (not generalizing). In the end both great cars at that price point, either used SPF or new BDR.

New SPF 70k
Used SPF 55k
Difference is loss of 15k

New BDR 55k
Used BDR 40k
Difference is loss of 15k

Using your numbers they both lose 15k.

So buy a new SPF for 70k, a new BDR or a used SPF for 55k, or a used BDR for 40k. Numbers say buy a BDR, new or used. But if you can afford a SPF and that is what you want buy a SPF. I'd take a new 2015 Z06 over a new 2015 911, but that is me. I am sure some others would pick the 911. But hey if you want to beat chest that SPF is better because it costs more then why not buy an alum Kirham? The bottom line is buy what makes you happy.
