While I'd take either one in a heartbeat, I'd probably pick the Carrera S. For me it would add a bit more versatility. I have a two year old son and the Carrera would allow us to tour more. I don't think the differing driving characterics of each would be much of an issue. I think the challenge of learning to drive the 911 hard would be as rewarding as the inherent smoothness and stability of the Boxster.
