Again, with my 986 @ 86k miles the question becomes, do I spend the money to refurbish the seats, replace top with glass window, upgrade the 16" wheels and tires, add aero side skirts and install the 996 GT3 bumper I have sitting in my basement? If so, I'm at least another $6,000 into the car. Of course add back the $16k I would sell the 996 for and I'm still on top. Or, do I spend an additional $10k and go the 987 route?
Bottom line is I feel the 2 seat roadster is my personal choice even though I wanted to like the 996.

May I suggest, test-driving until you've found IT? You may find the 987 too heavy and cush, or....
Like an artist, at these painful times, we must push on into the darkness of our longing and not-knowing, searching for 'our beloved'... To the journey then! We are with you during you dark moments my dear friend...and know that even 'the world's most interesting man' has walked these lonely steps before you...
