I also like having a real spare tire and a real oil dipstick.
All of this led to me buying the best 986 I could find. I ended up buying a 2004 550 SE Boxster.
I absolutely LOVE HER!
Is the 987 better? Well, what IS better? Stiffer structure? Safer? More Tech? Yes, the 987 has all of that. Is THAT better? Not for me.
With a real oil dipstick, I can visually inspect my engine oil. I can learn a LOT from the oil what is happening inside my engine.
My 986 is lighter, has REAL steering feedback, I like the style more, and this SE is just flat beautiful inside and out.
I have zero desire for a newer Boxster.

Must say i agree with 90%.
I too have a 550 SE. But the 987s is pulling on my heart strings. Things i wish my 986 had are sport chrono and PCM2.
The only way i could jump into another boxster is if a sport design 2 or an rs60 appeared.
Otherwise i love my 986 and wouldn't consider anything else
