I had an 05 base. From practical experience I can tell you you'll have no trouble keeping up with a 986S, not a knock on the 986 series, it just is what it is.

Your plan sounds good to me. I assume you're picking up a lease-end off leasetrader or similar, so it will allow you to form an opinion on the 987 for an extended period without being locked in. I only had my base for a year before getting a 987S so obviously took something of a depreciation hit.

As far as the car goes, I think you'll love driving it every day and it will improve your outlook on life and mood as only a new car can. Good for you.
