I've had a base 2.5 Boxster for 2 years before I totaled it (bad day) and bought a 2002 S to replace it. I've driven the S for roughly 4 months now and I can sit here and tell you, hand on my heart, I don't really care much for the extra power of the S. The truth is, below 4k RPM's there is such a small difference in torque between base and S that you'd hardly notice it(at least to me). All the power is up at the top end, and for city dwellers like me that top end is not reached all too often.
Enjoy what you have, Boxsters may not be faster than many cars on the road these days but remember that those cars are nowhere near as special as your Box.
