New Boxster Fan - Help Deciding Between '01/'02 and '03

I am shopping for a used Boxster S. From what I understand the main differences between the '01/'02 Boxster S and the '03 Boxster S are as follows:

18" Wheels - Lighter(by 6lbs) and better looking(in my opinion) available for '03
Glass rear window for '03
Front and rear and side fascia updates for '03
8hp increase in '03
Minor changes in the dashboard in '03 - cupholders and maybe others
Please list any updates I am missing?

I need some help deciding between buying an '03 or something older. My brother has the Boxster and he says the glass window alone is enough reason to buy an '03. How bad are plastic windows and how long do they last? I am leaning towards the '03 because of these updates. I don't think the price gap is that big between buying an '02 and '03. Please let me know what you think.
