Having owned both, I can say from a driving perspective, the 986 feels more raw, more alive. It feels like it might just kill you if it's in the mood.
Whereas the 987 is more refined. It also does feel a bit heavier.
Drive them both, they are both great cars, but depends on what you prefer - to drive on the edge or have something a bit more refined.
Overall though, not a huge difference.
