It's especially important as that's a weak point with convertibles.

Is the 987 maybe an inch or so longer to account for the extra roominess?

Is there a weight difference? The 986 is 2900 lbs. 987?
The extra room is just the difference in how the interior panels are shaped. The side windows are also larger (towards the upper rear of the cut), so more headroom for ingress/egress.
