Maybe the answer to your problem is right in front of you. Have you driven a 987S? I traded a beautiful Lapis Blue 01S in on my LE. It took 2 days to consumate the deal and I wondered if I was making the right choice and would miss my 01S...

There hasn't been a day when I wished I had it back. My LE is sooo much better - better shifter, 45 more HP (which you can feel), PSE, and more options. I even saw my old Box driving down the street so I chased the guy down and talked to him. I still didn't miss it.

I'll bet Porsche dealers are making some smokin good deals right now with the economy spiraling down the toilet. If you find a Box you like on someone's lot, they'll be mighty happy to see you. Or as LordBlood suggested, you could find a low mileage one from someone who just lost all their 401k this week.
