It would honestly give porsche the right to charge the same for both cars and then let the apples fall where they do.
I'd think it would be more difficult to swap engines (remove the 4 and put in a 6) vs slapping a turbo on an NA 6 engine. Porsche probably knows that many would modify their Boxster/Cayman with a Turbo to make it compete better with the 911.
