elan turbo vs 911

[stevesharpe]

i am considering changing from my 1990 elan to a 88/89 911 or maybe an early 964,has anyone else out there made this move , and was it the right thing to do? for what reasons ?my budget is 15K max , i realised a boyhood dream buying the elan but have also craved a 911 for 20 years or so.will an 88/89 911 feel a bit dated compared with the lotus ?
i could really do with the extra 2 child seats the porsche has to offer , can't afford to make the wrong move ...any help please
