However, as the previous posted noted, the 987S is more responsive to driver input. So, the car is telling you less about the little details of the road, but it is very perceptive to the instructions you are telling it.
A car with higher limits and lower feedback ordinarily is a dangerous combination, especially in a mid-engine design, but the 987S gives you clear messages when things are getting close to the edge, and I have found that it isn't too hard to control near the limit. I've only had PSM kick in once, and it was by choice. I intentionally pushed it past the limit on an on-ramp with lots of room for error.

So basically:
986S= Better steering feel, steering wheel follows the road more and doesn't go back to center automatically: more like an E30 M3
987S= Better steering response, quicker turn in, but steering feels more numb and isolated from the road: more like a Honda S2000
