I do, so its a valid point!

Thanks to all for the input so far, it's not making it any easier,but you're certainly helping form my thinking and i'm kind of glad that it's not just me who finds this a hard call to make.

Not hard at all for some of us! Losing the fabulous NASP flat six engine would rule out a 991.2 for me, so unless you're looking at a 997 GTS, 991.1 GTS or any GT3/RS then I can't see the 911 is "worth" the substantial price increase. The 997 is older and feels a bit dated compared to the 981, so I'd personally rule that out too. The GTS and GT3 engines are peaches though, so yer pays yer money and takes yer choice!

£30k extra for the 991.1 GTS over the 981 GTS is a lot of miles/road trips/track days.......

...also... the 911 is a bit, well, common?

You see them all the time and everyone knows what it is, another person in his 911, yawn...

I would hazard a guess the Cayman is a fair bit rarer. With no model designation on mine most folks have no idea what it is, and I quite like that. Plus, of course, it looks far better than a 911.
