Some spec boxster guys have caught with 2.7 5 speed transmissions and didn't even know until they got inspected by the scrutineers at a race. The spec guys are burning through 2.5 transmissions so quickly that you might have a hard time finding a good used one. I'd stick with the 2.7 transmission because of that. Of course you're in England so finding a 2.5 transmission won't be so hard.
One of the driving factors behind the decision is that the majority of the gearboxes on ebay seem to be from either a 2.5, or a 130k+ miles 2.7, and all the 2.5 boxes are within a reasonable distance to me
