Well I can tell you which one I'd probably get bored with sooner.
I went to our local dealer to order a new Boxster S for about 81K and when they told me they were not interested in trading in my Boxster, I bought a 2002 Turbo they had on the lot for $49K and kept my Boxster. Not quite 1/2 the price, but close enough!
