i have a cayman and personally, if i were to do it again, i would have opted for a 911. at the price i got my cayman for though, it would have been a 996 and the interior on a 996 is something i can't live with. 
if you can get a new cayman, i'd say to find a late model 911s instead. imho.

Same here. I'd opt for a 911 (particularly a 997) over a Cayman or a Boxster. I know the standard response is "Have you driven ..." and "Mid-engine layout ...", but I know what I prefer

the mid-engine layout does make the car feel more nimble and balanced vs. a 911 but if you're daily driving with occasional track use, then i'd go w/ a 911. on the flip-side, if i were a track junkee, i'd probably get an elise.

OP: if you do opt for PDK, make sure you get the sports chrono pack. its pretty worthless on a 6speed but for PDK, its a necessity. i'd also opt for PASM (the 10mm drop you get when activating PASM makes the ride height perfect, of course imho).

I'm also probably getting the PASM--the 10mm drop is actually always present, the car doesn't raise/lower depending on whether it's activated or not (common misconception that was cleared up on planet-9.com)
Regarding the 911---I actually like the Cayman looks better, and the newer Cayman S performs about equal to the entry level 911's at a much lower price point, so it's a no-brainer for me

if i had a choice to leap from s2k to cayman S, i would do it in a heartbeat...
question is: i know you can buy one, but can you afford one...?
i heard the price of maintenance is pretty hefty... especially tires...
and im with OP... maybe its a small circle, but i think the cayman looks better than the 911...
