Love the 8 series! Also a 928, you've owned two cars I hope to own myself some day.
As for the 986 I've had a very basic car and now drive one with many options and I can say that it makes a huge difference!
The ergonomics in the 986 are perfect regardless of quality, but it make a big difference to have a car with the right set of options.
The 987 will have more tat to start with but I do not know that it will stand the test of time as well, I have seen some pretty scuffed 997 interior switch gear and trim.
My first base car had black gloss door handles and the shifter was black gloss and the dials were black and the hand break was plastic.
Now i have a well optioned S. Everything mentioned before is now brushed aluminum with white dials and aluminum around the dials. The car has the supple leather option on the seats which is also much better than the perforated.
The current car has yellow deviated stitching and seat belts to match the cars exterior as well as full leather.
That's just what is on mine if you get really lucky you will find some cars with painted seat backs, center tunnel, center console trim, wood trim, or even carbon fiber.
Remember that the same interior in these cars was sold in 911 GT2s that sold for quite the price.
The interior is the worst asset of the 986 but I still get frequent compliments on mine, passengers tend to feel safe and comfortable. And despite being such an old car the interior does not feel dated other then the lack of technology that's of no good use anyways.
You sound as if you could get a fairly nice 987 but this also means you could have most any 986 you want.
I would suggest looking into a 986 550 special edition as they have an outstanding brown leather.
