Obvious engine differences aside, to me a 993 feels more like a 996 with the correct wheel base. The car that the 996 should have continued to be when they switched to water-cooled engines, if they were going to dump the 964.
But I think the 964 should have been developed instead of going the grand touring/plusher router that began with the 993.

I haven't owned a 993 but have driven several all of which were modified and likely coloring my opinion. Even mine was modded (ECU mod, full dual outlet catless exhaust and a coil over suspension) making it a more visceral experience.
In the end for me the 964/993 are more of a true driver's cars and directly not comparable to the newer Porsche sports cars/GTs (based on having driven 986/987/996/997). I guess that is one of the reason the air cooled cars are appreciating in value.
