I'm going thru the same debate,I just test drove an '05 base and an SLK-350. I've also driven an '03 and '04S. I actually like the 986 interior better. Is it just me, or are the headlight bulges larger in the 987 than 986? I actually found them annoying in my sight line while turning. It also seemed the steering was weighted differently.Some reviews rate the 987 as a "10" in handling, vs. an "8" for the 986, but but aren't the suspensions basically the same? My next step is a back-to-back test, but I'm leaning towards an '04S.
I have to say, the SLK stereo puts the Boxster to shame, and it had the Bose rear speaker. How can a $50,000 car have such a horrible stereo! The folding hard-top also had great rear visibility, and the 3.5 good power, but I wasn't able to test the cornering capabilities. The tiny truck bothered me though. The search continues!
