Do yourself a favor and take this opportunity to save 16lbs of weight and some cash.
Edit: Pull the cutoff switch when you park the car and you never have to worry about a dead battery.

You are correct.
However, because this is still a street legal car and I drive it to events, it needs to start reliably (as in every time) - even after a night in the hotel parking lot at 30F during the winter. Unfortunately, I don't have the luxury of jump starting from the truck that was used to tow the trailer if the Boxster battery doesn't have enough juice.
But your point is a good one and I'll take another look at them...
