Is there much of a weight difference between existing Boxster 987 and 997 coupe? What all accounts for the Boxster's "nimbleness" over the 997?

I would expect the Coupe to weigh less than the Cabrio or Convertible or Roadster or Spyder or whatever I'm supposed to call it.

The main reason the boxster is more nimble is because of the better weight distribution as Q Porsche said. The 987S weighs approx 300lbs less than a Carrera S as well which doesn't hurt either.
