Wait for 2009 or get the 2008?

I've been looking on the web for pictures of the 2009 Boxster/Boxster S, and have only been able to find spy shots dating from February and May of this year. I'm not sure that I like what I see, but it is camaflouged so I really can not tell, what the front lights will look like. LED lights and larger side mirrors are great and all, but they look too much like the lights on the Honda S2000 that I sold. The greatest advantage seems to be Direct Fuel Injection (DFI), which is expected to raise power on the base Boxster from 245hp to 270 hp, and on the 'S" raise power from 295hp to 325 hp, making it the first Boxster S to go 0-60 under 5.0 seconds. More power will certainly outweigh for many some of the "ugly" styling tweaks. Here's my dillema, my car should be made in December 2007 and delivery in late January to early Feb. Would you cancel the order and wait until....April, possibly September for the 2009?

Pluses: Updated styling, more power.
Cons: Updated styling, possible bugs in the first year of a changed model.
