Likewise, I've moved off the Cayman due to the hard top. It handles so well but I like the convertible option.
Now, I have to decide if an upgrade to a Box S is worth it since my 986 base is in excellent condition and paid for! Damn you Porsche.

You can buy a mint low mileage 2000 Boxster S for about 20 000$, and even cheaper if you pick one up in September when dealers are desperate.
I drove a 2008 Cayman S and while it is more responsive and powerful, the difference with my 2000 Boxster S is not THAT huge.
However, compared to a 997 base model, the Cayman S feels sooooo slow below 4000RPMs!!!
