hmmmmmm....not sure but if we are comparing apples to apples....I have an 05 987 base....if the original question is would I have picked it over an 05 987 S....no, I did pick it because of cost and looking back I should have been a man and bit the bullet
now if the question is would I have got an 986 04 S over my 05 987 base, not in the wildest....
I'm with B....next box will be a T
