After having driven both of these cars at the track at about 80%, and the Carrera S, my conclusion is that they are all 90% the same car to drive. On the road, there's almost no difference at all in responsiveness, useable power, and handling. People who want a 911 for whatever reason will buy a 911, but I see no reason to pick it over the Boxster for someone who will never be on the track or just recreationally tracking.

I think most know how I feel about the new cars compared to the old cars in general.
