987 vs. 986 vs. RS60

My choice would be the RS60 for the following reasons: 1) It's under factory warranty which you might be able to extend. 2) It has a number of very nice options that would cost a fortune to add later an item at a time. 3) It's unique in contrast to the others. As for the 09-2012 not having an IMS? From what I'm told not only does it still use a similar bearing but only by splitting the cases can said bearing be serviced.

2006-2008 still have IMS and have to have case split to replace 2009-2012 do not have an IMS of any kind, thank God.

Again, this isn't what I'm being told, the new engines use a bearing it's bigger, beefier and hopefully has more than 30k in it. Surface rust on the rotors and hats is unfortunately common.

Not sure who told you this, but the DI engines from 2009 on don't have an intermediate shaft. The cams run off the crank. So no IMS bearing.
