How do you know that the differences you experienced aren't just down to the tires being different models rather than because of the size difference? Conti tires usually have quick and accurate turn in. I wonder what your experience would have been if the Contis where your current tires and the G009 your previous ones. The difference from model to model in the same exact size can be huge.
205/55-16 tires have worked very well for me. The cornering is definitely not "nerve-wracking". Have had the old generation F1s then S-03s, then F1 GS-D3s and now I'll be putting on a new set of ContiSportContact 2s that I got at 1/3 of the normal price through a friend who swears by them (he's also tried the GS-D3s).
205/50-16 tires must make your speedo read quite a bit too fast.
