I drove both, and the price premium for an S wasn't enought to scare me away. Just took me longer to find one I wanted - the '03 glass rear window and PSM were requirements for me, I drive it year round in Chicago....

However the 987 base I drove was certainly more than enough car for me - i probably would not end up with a 987 S.
