My first Porsche was an 01 986S and I currently own a 987S Boxster and Cayman. I do as much DIY as I can. It's been 8 yrs since I had the 986S but I don't think it's harder to work on a 987 vs a 986. I think it's easier to work on my Cayman since you can climb in the trunk to work on the top of the engine vs the Boxster in service mode.
