Which Boxster S would be a better purchase in the long run?

I got my numbers from the Excellence mag site.....2855 vs 2911 (2000 vs 2003 - S w/manual), and my math was wrong: only a 56 lb difference.

Not an insignicant amount though. Porsche made an effort at trimming fat and dropped 176 lbs. in the Boxster Spyder over the 987S.

The way I see it I can add 8 HP fairly easily. Dropping 56 lbs. would cost a bit more money.
