Glad to hear you're okay--that looks like it was quite a hit!
My take: The only reason I'd buy a current-generation 987 versus waiting for the 2009 refresh is if I was really looking for a sweet deal. If you're looking for a sweet deal, the RS60 is not something I'd bet on.
I'd recommend either buying something else off the dealer's lot or if you're not looking to save bucks, customize an order on a 2009. I'd be jealous.
Oh and I bought my 2005 as a first-model-year. It did have quirks and things to address, but the dealer did everything under warranty and now, 48,700 miles later, I'm quite satisfied with how things have turned out!
(...but now I'm itching for the 2009....)
