Hey DDB, excellent question! And, I think I have an answer, becuase this is something you must consider in the process. Mainly because the Turbo does not do well sitting around. It needs to be driven.
I only drive my Boxster once (maybe twice) per week. Only on nice summer days April through late October. Never to work. But when I do drive it, I am gone for 6-8 hours and can rip through 300-400 miles no problem.
With the Turbo, I would drive it into November, maybe December and then try again for a nice sunny winter day here and there in February and March. It would probably sit most of January. The AWD aspect of the car and the fact that it is a coupe would give me a longer driving season.
So I would alternate weekends with the cars, to keep both happy.
I remember reading several months ago that one of the Forum members here really looks forward to Fridays, because he/she will take the Boxster into the office on a nice day. I would love to do that too, but I personally feel very strange driving a "Porsche" to work. The last thing I need is my boss or customers seeing this type of car. I know this is my own personal 'hang-up' but that is just the way I feel. In fact, most people I know outside of a few neighbors, people here, and a few immediate family members, nobody knows I have a Boxster. So, with that said, I would like to drive the Turbo to work on office-only-days (40 miles round trip) on nice days, and I could "justify" it to myself (or others if 'questioned') that, "It is a 12-13-14 year old car!"...and catch less attention and scrutiny. Maybe not. But, it works for me.
