I'll drive your focus you can drive the skoda and we can find out what's quicker lol :)

Depends on how aggressive cams are. Some cams can increase torque :)

Aggressive cams do have to be abused to get best use from them.

Mine aren't ridiculous lol, my car sounds completely standard (except the exhaust) but you definitely notice the high end power... it's like vtech kicking in on a Honda

Didn't insult your shiney camshafts lol

Vtec was a great design of keeping torque and high end power. High lift cams slow u down with normal 1000-3000rpm driving

It's the usual case of gaining in one area of the rev range at the expense of another. Have wondered if in some ways when you have a power graph for an engine if you're limited to an area measurement between the graph and the axes - so if you raise peak power at the top end you'll see similar reduction elsewhere but the overall area stays the same. Then a major change like adding turbo or boring the block out would give you a larger area figure to play with......

Even with different cams, if you can adjust pulley orientation you can still vary power characteristics to some degree - similar to what Honda do with the V-tec.

Also bear in mind that as you progress through from the simple updates to the more complex you also need to start addressing other limitations of the engine package to get the most out of it. Can start with exhaust and induction areas then creeping towards bigger radiators/oil coolers, uprated clutch and so on.

All depends how deep your pockets are!
