			I had an 05 base.  From practical experience I can tell you you'll have no trouble keeping up with a 986S, not a knock on the 986 series, it just is what it is. 
 
Your plan sounds good to me. I assume you're picking up a lease-end off leasetrader or similar, so it will allow you to form an opinion on the 987 for an extended period without being locked in.   I only had my base for a year before getting a 987S so obviously took something of a depreciation hit.   
 
As far as the car goes, I think you'll love driving it every day and it will improve your outlook on life and mood as only a new car can.  Good for you.
