Older 996 vs Newer model

[RumbleTumble]

Maybe you guys can help me out. Currently have a Boxster S which I love except for sometimes wishing it had just a bit more go I was thinking of a change, and was toying with the idea of changing to a 996 Cab (extra seats be useful - about to become a dad). I dont really want to spend tons more, are the newer 996s much better than an early (say 1999) one? Have any of ou 996 drivers switched from a BoxsterS ? Wish you hadnt ? be really grateful for your views and what you think I should pay for one. Cheers.

Yeah but like you said the convertibles are going to be expensive for quite a while, and I cant not have a soft top Maybe I'll go over to the 'dark side' and get the TVR.......

Thanks for your input guys, I drove a 996 Cab yesterday and really enjoyed it. Im just not sure if there is enough extra to justify the difference in price. The car I drove was a 1999 V and they wanted about 47k for it which I thought was a bit steep.
Still going to look at TVR before I decide though......
