I saw a funny thread on another forum (non-Porsche) today. The thread was about the 981 and a dude posted that he owned a 2002 986S for 2 years and got rid of it this year to buy a new E550. He said words to the effect of "Loved the car but I worried about the IMS letting go every single day. Breathed a sigh of relief when I traded it on the E550 and I've never looked back."
I pointed out that it was a shame he had lived in such fear for 2 years over the small possibility of a $five-figure engine failure in the Boxster, when he was perfectly happy to accept the 100% assurance of a five-figure depreciation of his E-class the moment he signed the papers for it, and never lost a moment's sleep over that. It's all a matter of perspective.
(to be fair, wives tend to take the latter with equanimity and the former with horror!)
