I've owned a 986S, 987S and a 2012 Black Edition Boxster S.
I love the new 981 but unfortunately the deal breakers are:
1-Ridiculous power increase: 5 more HP? My Black Edition had 320HP, the new one has 315HP. Doesn't make sense.
2-The rear spoiler. Sorry but it's quite tacky looking and ruins the look (for me).

I would not make a determination without having driven both cars. If you get a chance, do it. The newer Boxster is worlds apart in feel, comfort and performance over the older one, even if the numbers do not seem to say so.

I had a 2007 987 and kept it for 4 years. If I were buying now I'd go for the 981. All the road tests say its a great car, I like the looks, and it has decent power, handling and transmission - PDK all the way.
