I'm not a typical Honda fanboy as you call it, and I give respect where it is due. The Z06 is a great performer at almost half the price of an NSX. But it's still not an NSX. Whether the Acura is worth the cost is up to the buyer.
You can't say you're not a fanboy and then say "But it's still a NSX" The argument here isn't about which is a better car, it's about performance. Hands down the Z06 is a better performer with equal drivers. The worth of any car is up to the buyer, just about the only thing the NSX has going for it is exclusivity, hand built quality and fun to drive. As a raw sports car the 10 year old design just doesn't cut it in performance figures.
