How Common Are 987 Engine Failures

So I was just wondering if the "epidemic" of blown engines in 987's is a bit over exaggerated online? I dont doubt there are issues and people have been victims of failures, but when I asked the dealer doing my PPI today how many 987 engines they have replaced he said that they've maybe done 1 or 2. He did say they have seen a number of 986's with blown engines though. I guess Im just trying to get over that last bit of fear before dropping a good chunk of $$$ on an 07 S.

Off topic do any of the aftermarket warranties cover / replace engines in these cars if they let go due to the IMS bearing or rod bearing etc assuming it blows on the street?
