993 vs boxster

[gsw]

I've been reading this site for some time now - very impressed.
I would be greatful if anyone could tell me if they have experience of driving both a boxster and a 993. I have been looking to buy a 993 and have a budget of around 30k. However it has recently occured to me that i could buy a much younger boxster for the same money, True the 993 has the best looks but are the two comparable to drive?

Thanks for the advice esp. johnny senna. My heart says a 993. I guess its a case of searching for a decent one and being patient.

cheers.
